Seeing things that no one else can is more than enough of a burden for anyone. Drake McCarty however, finds himself thrust into the position of liaison to an alien race at the tender age of sixteen. Bole and the other exiled Royal Guardsmen are friendly enough, and the work is fascinating. However, Drake is also often required to run dull errands for the large shape shifting aliens. A two story tall glowing blue elk might be something a National Park Ranger can explain away to a frightened tourist, but for anything in a populated area a human representative is needed. Meanwhile the civil war that drove the aliens from their home-world has arrived on Earth and the conflict begins anew. Drake is just learning to cope with the fact that his life is constantly in danger when an alien pod falls from the sky. Within hours of it striking an island in the border waters between Russia and the USA, McCarty is sent to retrieve the debris. He arrives to find international tensions the least of his worries. Inside are three embers, infants of Bole’s species; desperately afraid, injured, and carrying a dangerous contagion. Military medics make two startling discoveries; the embers have imprinted and bound themselves to McCarty, and the disease that they carry is terminal.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Betty Adams lives in a particularly damp and remote corner of the Pacific Northwest and like a hobbit enjoys visitors so long as she knows them in advance and knows when they are coming. She was born sometime last century and will likely die sometime this century. She works winters on a small organic research farm when not writing and spends most of her time herding eccentric genius scientists (she is absolutely certain cats would be easier) with the help of her Great Pyrenees mix. Summers she spends nomadically wandering the Pacific Northwest in search of material for her stories and a regular paycheck for a biology major (she is reasonably certain those are on the Endangered Species List). She has several works published in the National Park Internal Database which may or may not be classified documents.

    Do yourself a favor and get this book. If the first was grand then this one is glorious. Mysteries abound.

    Adams dances the line between Science Fiction and Fantasy, in a story that doesn't require your complete understanding to touch your heart. One star is subtracted for some distracting formatting issues, but I'm sure such a thing can be fixed.

    The world of this tale is enticing in its mysteries. I have many questions, and a desire for (as the gremlins on Reddit say) MOAR! I do recommend that sci-fi lovers pick this one up.

    Warning cliffhanger. Beautiful, endearing, heart breaking. Well written world. This is definitely a strong beginning but also full of previous lore.

    Every science fiction or fantasy book is about the same question: what makes us human? Betty Adam’s answer is simple and powerful. Family.
