When Kyle Wimberly, the hands-on president of Full Cycle Solar, Inc., investigates a unit failure, he finds an alien shuttle has crashed into it. The shuttle’s captain is grievously injured, his crew dead. Then, to Kyle’s surprise, the captain asks for help, speaking perfect English. Kyle and colleague Alexandra Reyes carry the captain to the shuttle’s medical bay for treatment by its auto-doc. This simple act of compassion launches the two down a path that will change their lives and the world forever. From bestselling author D. Ward Cornell comes a new tale of human ingenuity, alien conflict, and one man’s struggle to lead a reluctant world to preparedness, despite the personal and political barriers in his way.
