After the Roswell High series' ten-book run, it
was time to bring in fresh blood. In May 2001 a new series
was released, kick-started by successful sci-fi author Greg
Cox with Loose Ends. It was followed by two books
written by the husband-and-wife team of Dean Wesley Smith
and Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
Although Cox, Smith and Rusch are all established authors
of TV-show-based novels, the "Loose Ends" series
came at a time when dwindling popularity and poor ratings
were killing the Roswell franchise. The books nonetheless
stand well on their own merits, occupying an indeterminate
space in the Roswell timeline sometime in the second
season.

#1: Loose
Ends
Greg Cox
May 2001
Eight hundred feet underground.
. .and deep into danger.
It started out as an innocent road trip to Carlsbad
Caverns to unwind, but now Max, Isabel, Michael, Liz,
and Maria are totally regretting their plan.
Hundreds of feet underground, in the cavern gift shop,
Liz turns and is stunned to see someone she thought
she'd never meet again—the man who shot her long
ago in the diner. Their eyes meet and Liz bolts.
But running won't solve the group's new "problem."
Because the shooter has recognized Liz. Now he wants
her dead.
And nobody knows why. |

Dean Wesley Smith and Kristine Kathryn
Rusch
August 2001
"Save my child.
Save Katie."
Michael has been taken, kidnapped by a frantic father
in a desperate move to save his dying daughter. Chad
Newcomb is sure Michael was the one who performed last
Christmas' miracle, healing ill children in a hospital.
Maria, Max, Tess, Liz, Isabel, and Valenti are hot on
Newcomb's trail, but a reporter's nose for a medical
scam leads her straight to Max, foiling the group's
rescue plan. And Katie's life is on the line.
Will they be too late. . .again? |

#3: Little Green
Men
Dean Wesley
Smith and Kristine Kathryn Rusch
April 2002
It's Not Easy Being Green.
. .
At first it seems amusing when Kyle Valenti's skin takes
on a lime-colored hue. But within hours, the hospital
has become a disaster area, full of humans who look
more like aliens than the real "Scandinavian"
occupants of Roswell. Soon, Maria and Alex have joined
the club, and Max decides to use his powers to return
them to normal.
Except his healing touch apparently doesn't work when
the trouble is cosmetic, and not life-threatening.
While the military forces the colored population into
top secret quarantine camps, Liz searches for a scientific
explanation and finds a familiar culprit—and a
new sense of urgency. Within forty-eight hours, this
alien contaminant will change the humans' skin permanently,
leaving the humans green. . .and Max, Michael, and Isabel
unveiled. |
