Alice is a college student. All she wants is to find a little love in the world, but when a gunman pulls up in a black SUV at her fast-food restaurant, life changes in an instant. The appearance of an extraterrestrial spacecraft in orbit is meaningless when a gun is being pointed in her face. The alien apocalypse seems trivial by comparison to a 9mm Glock inches from her nose. When it comes to an alien invasion, all she has are her wits and a fridge magnet that reads: Omnia Vincit Amor. FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that the series is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.
