As I remember watching Alien 3 in the cinema way back to the days of pre-internet, I also remembered the first two movies and Alien that set off the franchise with a cast that felt they were hand picked to do the job of convincing us that there was life on other planets, and that it wasn't as friendly as we first thought. The release of this series of three novels in the Aliens series made me recall this memory of feeling a part of something new and interesting, and as deep and dark as I had hoped.

From the first A Natural History of Dragons series of novels, Isabella wanted to search for and catalogue dragons of every kind and didn't mind going all around the natural world to do so. This is the one thing that sets her apart from her fellow women as she acts, in tomboy fashion as a man would do and comes under great scrutiny from other men for being so bold.

Blurb:

For all those yaoi enthusiasts who don't know what this anthology is about and its purpose, take a look at what is on the Purity website: "Purity is a black & white erotic anthology of sequential and pin-up works by artists stylistically inspired by yaoi manga." The main reason this was set up is due to the love each writer and artist had for the yaoi genre and the need they had to get something less mainstream published and put out into the world. The yaoi genre has influenced and touched so many people, and there are plenty who have worked on this original kickstarter project into its finality.
