I don't usually read Science Fiction but this author was mentioned in this thread
The book sounded interesting so I am starting with the first in the series Space Junque (Apocalypto 1)

The DOGs want to destroy the world. The gods want to make a new one. The trick is to survive both.

On the brink of a world-wide ecological cataclysm set off by the Oil Spill of 2010 and the Great Sea Level Rise of 2070, hydroponics agronomist Char Meadowlark has become a recluse. Her fiance was killed by a terrorist bomb, and her twin sister Sky has gone underground to protect a top secret energy project. Warned about an impending eco-terrorist attack, Char tries to get off planet, but the Defenders of Gaia strike while she's at the airport. Shuttle pilot Jake Ardri might offer her only hope.

When the DOGs' onslaught goes global and the material world threatens to implode, the ancient gods reemerge to take control over humanity. Now Char has to juggle two men, a world on fire, and a goddess with an agenda for a new world order.

novella, about 28,000 words or 112 pages

Space Junque is a fun, smart read, and I really think people will enjoy it. I hesitate to make comparisons, but I think it has a bit of a Firefly vibe to it. -- Anne Frasier

EDIT: I finished the first book in the series (only 90 pages) considering I do not normally go for science fiction this was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the story and the characters in the story, I'm looking forward to the second in the series. I will start the second Spiderwork tomorrow...
