✦ Synopsis

“That was the scene in California’s Mojave Desert five years ago—our historic first view of the Newcomer’s ship . . .”

Thus began ALIEN NATION

—the groundbreaking and thought-provoking television series that was part science fiction, part hard-hitting police drama, and critically praised for taking on tough social issues.

Now the excitement, action, and intrigue of that acclaimed series continues in an all-new line of original novels, beginning with the exciting untold story of how it all began.

Los Angeles, the present. Rookie detective Matt Sikes begins his first murder investigation and stumbles onto a deadly conspiracy that threatens his life, his daughter, and his world. At the same time, onboard a nightmarish starship hurtling toward the Earth’s sun, Stangya Soren’tzahh—a courageous Tenctonese slave destined to become Detective George Francisco—is swept into his peoples’ last desperate struggle for freedom against the ruthless and mysterious Overseers.

When the great ship lands on Earth, the future of the Tenctonese and all humanity depends on two unlikely heroes, Matt and George—who must work together for the first time to prevent a disaster that could destroy both their peoples.
