Here's another one:

Book 21, The Threat: Lion Vs. Tiger (wide)

I glided down toward the mall roof, avoiding the area where I'd seen
David land.
I came to rest on the gravelly roof, exhausted from the endless
flapping. I looked carefully, fearfully into the darkness. I strained my
hearing. But no one was near.
I watched to see if David would fly away again. But in my heart I knew
he would not. David had picked this place. David wasn't going to run.
I demorphed and soon stood there, feeling out of place, conspicuous. And
yet I was invisible to anyone on the ground. A raised edge went all
around the mall roof. Behind me and to the right were the walls that
rose up to the third floors of the big department stores. I was two
floors up above the main mall itself. 
I began to morph again.
"All right, David," I said to the darkness. "You want this fight? You
can have this fight."
The orange-and-black fur swept across my body.
The long tail extended out behind me.
I fell forward onto footpads the size of frying pans. I tested my claws,
extending them slowly from their sheaths.
I felt the tiger's instincts welling up beneath my own. I had done this
morph many times. I had long since learned to control the tiger's
bloodthirsty instincts.
But I didn't want to control them. Not this time. Not with Tobias lying
dead.
I sniffed the breeze and smelled him. I listened and heard the stealthy
pad of feet on the gravel and tar paper.
I looked, with eyes that were indifferent to darkness.
He was fifty feet away. His mane ruffled in the breeze. His tail
swooshed restlessly back and forth.
<You never answered me, Jake,> he said. <Lion versus tiger. Who do you
think will win?>
 <Let's find out,> I said.

Love the Yeerk homeworld one, and you have Marco's mom exactly how I picture her in my head, although I picture her slightly older (Mimi Rogers/Courtney Cox Arquette age), but other then that, she looks exactly how I picture her. Lion vs Tiger is really good too, although I would have liked it more, had we gottne a side-view of the face-off.

Really good jobs though!

I was far from the battle bridge now, beyond the range of their thought-speak. I heard nothing
in my head. And my ears heard only the sound of a gentle, artificial breeze ruffling the leaves
of the trees. I stood on blue-green grass and watched tiny pinpoints of light as the battle was
joined in orbit above the blue planet.
And then ... I felt it. A tremor that rolled through my mind. A wave of coldness ... a
premonition. Like a waking nightmare.
I turned my stalk eyes away from battle, toward the dead moon of the blue planet. And there
I saw it. A black shape against the gray-white light of the moon. A shape like some twisted
battle-ax.
<Blade ship . . .> I whispered. <A Visser's Blade ship!>

The wide one is 1024x640, which is the same proportion as 16x10... just needs a little stretching. Photobucket limits images to 1024x768 or 1MB maximum.

Love these wallpapers. I've recently gotten a Macbook and I've been adding wallpapers and I've gotten two of yours in there.

LOVE. Can't wait to see what you can do next.

Do you think you could pull off the scene from #15 : The Escape where Tobias tries to acquire a dolphin morph in the Gardens?

Sample:
Now, I should mention that this was a Saturday. It was early still, so
the place wasn't full, but there were plenty of people around. The
dolphin pool was ringed with people in the bleachers and pressed up
close to the pool.
 
But no one was watching the sky. Except for one little kid. One little
kid, who pointed upward and in a clear voice that somehow penetrated
above all the background noise said, "Mommy! That bird is going to hurt
the dolphins!"
 
"Tseeeeeer!" Tobias screamed in his best red-tailed way.
 
<Um ... is this stupid?> Cassie asked, way too late.
 
One of the dolphins shot up out of the water, clear up and out. And
Tobias went for him.
 
"Ooooh!" the crowd gasped.
 
And Tobias struck. Like he was going after a mouse. Only this was a
really big mouse.
 
Talons raked forward, wings flared to act as air brakes, Tobias struck.
And then, he stuck.
 
Talons sank into smooth, rubbery dolphin flesh while the dolphin was
still arcing through the air. It was a weird aerial ballet: the huge
dolphin and the tiny hawk, colliding ten feet
 
above the water. It would have been beautiful if it hadn't been insane.
 
"Aaaahhhh!" the crowd murmured.
 
Down went the dolphin.
 
<0h, man, I'm stuck!> Tobias cried. <My left talon is ->
 
And then he stopped thought-speaking because the dolphin had fallen back
into the water. And Tobias had gone with him.
 
Pah-LOOOSH!
 
A huge splash. And now the crowd was on its feet.
 
"Whoa!"
 
"Is that part of the show?" someone said.
 
"No way. Look at the dolphin trainers. They're going nuts!"
 
This was true. The trainers were going ape. They were racing around the
pool trying to get the dolphin's attention, hoping to get it to pull
over and let them grab the lunatic bird.
