Universal Alien Blog tour: Gini Koch’s Top Ten Sci Fi Heroes (+ International Giveaway!)

I'm a huge fan of Gini Koch's Katherine "Kitty" Katt series so I'm thrilled to be taking part in the blog tour today for the upcoming release of book 10, Universal Alien. This is one of my favourite laugh out loud series, one with fantastic characters, wonderfully creative world building and fantastic edge of your seat action so if you haven't come across it yet then I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have a fantastic guest post and giveaway from Gini to share with you but first let me give you a little more information about Universal Alien:

Being the wife of the Vice President isn’t easy. Especially when your talents lie in kicking butt and rocking out . . .

Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini find out just how easy it is for the wife of the Vice President of the United States to unintentionally insult an ally. Now they have to smooth things over with the Australian Prime Minister, pronto, or risk creating an international incident the worldwide anti-alien coalitions will be able to use to force Jeff to resign and the A-Cs to leave the planet.

But before Kitty can make things worse, a cosmic congruence and a little help from some powerful beings shoves her into another world -- one where she’s been married to Charles Reynolds for years and aliens don’t exist. She’s also landed in the middle of a huge conspiracy and is marked for death . . . but at least that’s business as usual.

Kitty’s not the only one confused, because the Kitty from that world has taken her place in this one. Now Alpha Team and the Diplomatic Corps have to make sure that no one spots that there’s been a switch, while keeping World War III from happening. And they have to do so while keeping this new Kitty in line, because she has views about what to do and how to it, and time is running out.

Can both Kittys save their respective days before it’s too late to go home to the universes they belong to? Or will one Kitty decide to keep the other’s life . . . forever?

Gini Koch’s Top Ten Sci Fi Heroes

10. Wolverine (because I can make the case for mutants, and an adamantium skeleton, being science fiction as much as comics).

9. Princess Leia from the Star Wars movies (well, the good ones, anyway). I used to not care for her, but over the years I’ve really come to appreciate her as a hero.

8. Mrs. Peel from The Avengers TV show (yes, it was supposedly a spy show, but it incorporated a lot of science fiction, and kind of fantasy, and everything else, and Mrs. Peel was the coolest chick in the WORLD).

7. Captain America/Steve Rogers (making the list because Captain America, like Iron Man and the Avengers, is as much a science fiction movie/s as it is a comics movie).

6. Sarah Connor from the Terminator movies (well, the good ones, anyway).

5. Ripley from the Alien movies (well, the good ones, anyway).

4. Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly/Serenity.

3. The entire crew of the Protector from Galaxy Quest.

2. Kirk, Bones, Spock, & Sulu from the new/J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies.

1. Han Solo. Because, obviously.
