Second Contact [Alien Nation #2] (#Wattys2019)

Earth is under siege.

After the destruction of the world's cities leaves the planet in chaos, Jules must return to Earth to help the Commonwealth form an alliance with Earth against the invaders. But events start to spiral out of control when she encounters Grace Saraki, a militia leader who could endanger all her plans.

Meanwhile on a ship at the heart of the invading armada, an alien priestess hopes the growing rebellion will be enough to save her people from their cycle of destruction.

And Avery, left alone on the Hub, must find out who the real enemy is - and quickly, if the mysterious voice in her head can be believed. It says she's living on borrowed time - but what happens when time runs out?

Sequel to Wattys-longlisted The Watcher.
