When Roswell's cancellation became official the
flagging Loose Ends series was retired and a third
series of Roswell books was launched.
The first four books of the series take place during the
summer between seasons two and three. The fifth book, A
New Beginning, takes place immediately following the
events of "Graduation." The books continue from
that point, wrapping up with Turnabout, the final
chapter in the Roswell story.

#1: Shades
Mel Odom
September 2002
Ghost Story
Now that their best chance for returning to the home
planet has left without them, the "Czechoslovakian"
residents of Roswell (code for aliens) must adjust to
a more permanent existence on earth than they were expecting.
Seeing a possible future for the two of them, Maria
nags Michael about money, sending him packing on a salaried
weekend trip to help a geologist study a proposed chemical
company site. As the group camps out under the stars,
a round of spooky ghost stories provides entertainment—until
one of the guys sees a real ghost. The kicker? Michael
can see it too.
River Dog has also been plagued by the shades of the
past in recent days, and he brings Max out to the desert
to bear witness as the apparition threatens him. He
tells Max of an ancient Mesaliko prophecy that tells
of vengeance being exacted by the tribe's ancestors
if Visitors are allowed to remain among them—Visitors
like Max, Michael, and Isabel. As the hauntings increase
in both frequency and violence, the alien teens and
their friends know they must uncover the true origin
of the phantoms—whether physical, mystical, or
alien—before the ghosts follow through on their
deadly threats. |

Could the donor give them some clue to their past—and
their future?
But Michael gets held up when he suddenly becomes the
prime suspect in his foster father's murder. Good thing
Jesse Ramirez, the new lawyer in Mr. Evans's firm—and
a close, personal friend of Isabel's—is there
to help Michael out. But Sheriff Hanson is watching
them all more closely than ever, and trails that once
burned hot have suddenly gone cold. How are the aliens
supposed to find their destiny when for every door that

in Kyle's subconscious are almost too much to bear,
but when she tries to exit his mind, she finds herself
trapped in a maze of guilt—while back in the conscious
world, Kyle is unable to wake her.
Meanwhile Liz invites Max to babysit with her. She wants
to give him a chance to train for the day when he finds
his own son. But watching this troubled child turns

#5: A New Beginning
Kevin Ryan
June 2003
Facing an unknown future
As Max, Michael, Isabel, Liz, Maria, and Kyle pile into
their van and leave Roswell behind, they are each hoping
for positive experiences—or at least something
different from most of the events of the past three
years. After all, their high school years were anything
but typical—the whole alien experience has nearly
cost them their lives, again and again. Still, they
know that taking charge of their destinies and deciding
to make a positive difference in the world has empowered
them all.
But it isn't long before Liz sees a vision of future
destruction, and the group realizes by leaving Roswell
they have changed history, and not necessarily for the
better. When they end up in a town where young girls
are disappearing, it quickly becomes clear that their
lives beyond Roswell will be anything but easy. . .

#6: Nightscape
Kevin Ryan
July 2003
On The Road. . .To Danger
While traveling through Colorado, Liz sees a vision
of Maria being chased through a large house. Needless
to say, the van then mysteriously breaks down right
in front of a creepy old mansion. Tired of being pushed
around by fate, the group decides to spend the night.
But what they find hidden inside the house forces them
all to face a powerful enemy, Max to make a decision
about his leadership abilities, and Liz to reconsider
her role in the group now that her powers are developing.
Looks like the battles they fought back in Roswell aren't
entirely over. And while the group knows they have changed
their destiny by leaving Roswell, they begin to wonder
how much they are really in control. Liz can see the
future, but when they act on her visions, are they changing
or simply carrying out their destiny? |

#7: Pursuit
Andy
Mangels and Michael A. Martin
August 2003
VISIONS OF DANGER
Liz, Max, Maria, Michael, and Kyle didn't expect that
when they left Roswell, their lives would suddenly become
perfect. They were, after all, on the run from the FBI.
But they certainly didn't think things could get much
worse. They're learning how wrong they were. The FBI
has tracked them via their email accounts and is hot
on the group's trail. It can only be a matter of time
before they are apprehended.
Meanwhile, in New York City, three alien Dupes are captured
by the police. When the Feds are brought on to the case,
the Special Unit recognizes the Dupes—and wonders
why "Tess," “Michael,” and “Isabel,”
are so different. Little do they know they are dealing
with a case of mistaken identity. And the real Isabel
has more pressing concerns, if Liz's latest vision is
to be believed. . .
This is the first of a two-part finale for the Roswell
saga, wrapping up all the storylines from the television
and book series! Read the exciting conclusion in TURNABOUT.
. . coming soon! |

#8: Turnabout
Andy
Mangels and Michael A. Martin
November 2003
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
Based on Liz's most recent vision, Max, Michael, Isabel,
Maria, and Kyle determine that Isabel's fate awaits
her in Los Angeles—the same place where their
parents, captured by the FBI are being held. It stands
to reason that the dupes are being held in the same
facility, so the group splits up, and half of them head
to the Pacific Coast.
Concerned for Isabel's safety, though, Max sends his
sister off with the remainder of their friends to Boston,
bringing about an awkward reunion between Isabel and
her husband Jesse Ramirez. Before long, both the group
and the dupes are being pursued by the feds, as well
as members of a new alien race. Everyone is forced to
put aside their mistrust and work together to thwart
the newfound danger that is coming from all sides. .
.
This is the final book of the Roswell saga, wrapping
up all the storylines from the television and book series! |
