Publisher's summary

An Intriguing Take on a First Contact

Star Trek collides with Armageddon in this human-alien friendship where an introverted human nerd and an alien college professor with an irrepressible sense of humor form an unlikely alliance in an effort to save both their worlds and, ultimately, each other.

Stealing a spaceship and kidnapping an alien are not out of the question....

Nuclear scientist Tom, his brave, spunky 12-year-old daughter Stephanie, and NASA mission commander Theresa join forces during a First Contact. Tom finds himself risking his career, custody of his daughter, and possibly his life, to save his new alien friend while attempting to prevent the annihilation of Earth.

Alien Neighbors
is a science fiction novel set in the near future. A high stakes, exciting adventure injected with humorous moments and a hint of romance, Alien Neighbors also explores topics including nuclear fusion and clean energy. Broader themes of friendship, looking beyond appearances, and second chances are interwoven throughout the story.

A fun and uplifting story with an optimistic view of the future!

Really great story I highly recommend

Once you get used to the reader's unusual cadence, the book is really good.

Dramatic and suspenseful, but not overly so.

It keeps the science in science fiction, but doesn't drown the reader in techno babel.

It really speaks to humanity's increasing paranoia of things taht are different than what they are used to.

Interesting

I enjoyed the story but I’m not sure if I can recommend it enthusiastically. It was a morality tale describing the political and social problems that is caused by prejudice. It did touch on how fears generate irrational behaviors. However, the morality tale was wrapped in sci-fi aliens, space travel, tech talk, some mystery and some romance. Toss into the mix was some discussion on environmental changes and patriotism. It just so happens that all of these topics interest me so this was a good story for me.
