The aliens currently governing Earth took Sam and other children to be raised on their homeworld. They tell him humans have the chance to be great. They tell him he'll be a representative of his species. A hero. But the protests that follow Sam's homecoming say otherwise. He and the other cadets are both pitied and despised - anything but respected. And if Sam is going to give humanity that shot at greatness, he needs more than their attention. He needs their trust. Loosely inspired by the story of Daniel in the Bible.

Akemi and Claire have never met in the flesh, but both are victims of an alien’s obsession. Akemi survived her ordeal but only as a hybrid bio-computer. And Claire survived hers as well. She escaped the zoo were she’d been captive. After three years. Her nightmare was over. But a lone human far from Earth has few options. And the one man who might help Claire evade her masochistic owner believes her to be a fake – an alien who’s taken human form. Don’t miss the latest installment of the Alien Cadet series, a far-flung space opera that explores the boundaries of isolation, fear, and redemption.
