We are not alone. And we are not the end of the line. Aliens from other star
systems will find us one day. And our own machines will one day overtake us. Or
both — at once.
Jon Christie knew this. Androids and aliens didn't faze a computer jock with a
CIA past. But even he was unprepared for the sudden, combined impact of these
threats when he traveled to Japan in the summer of 2013.
First published
in a limited private edition in 1996, this novel became a cult classic for a
select group of fans and has been hard to find ever since. Now, just in time,
here it is again.
