Resist
Captured Earth: Book One
TJ Nichols
Science Fiction / Dystopian / Alien Occupation
Synopsis
Earth has fallen. An alien force has captured the planet, and humanity survives under occupation — cowed, watched, and stripped of its future. But in the cracks of the new order, a resistance begins to form. The first book in TJ Nichols' Captured Earth series is a tense dystopian thriller about what it takes to fight back when the enemy has already won.

Not scheduled this month
Each month, the Guild offers four books across different genres: two fiction and two non-fiction. Read any or all of the picks. Only this month’s selections have a four-week reading schedule.
Next month’s four books will be chosen at random from the other available titles, keeping the two-fiction, two-non-fiction balance. There is no fixed reading order or schedule for the remaining collection.
More books can be added to the website at any time. New additions can be selected before books already available in the library.
