It starts with an article from Jason's crank file. Some campers have discovered an unconscious "space alien" in the wilds of Colorado. Every mention of the story quickly vanishes from the internet--but not before Alastair Stone gets a look at the single, blurry photo. The "space alien" looks tantalizingly familiar... Stone's going to need some heavy-duty help to get her back where she belongs. Help he doesn't even know how to reach. And things get even more complicated when he discovers how she got here—a revelation that catches the interest of yet another powerful friend. To make this right, Stone must not only walk a tightrope between two brilliant, potent, and relentless allies and their competing goals, but also keep them from finding out about each other. And finally, at long last, he's about to learn some truths about himself that make everything that's come before look trivial by comparison. If he survives the experience, his life is about to get very interesting.
