When PI Slade Russo visits astrobiologist Claire Ingles, he’s there for one reason. He wants her to tell him that the idea of aliens making contact is ridiculous.

For her part, Claire agrees. It’s likely that there’s alien life out there somewhere, she says, but given the difficulty of faster-than-light-travel and communication, it’s very unlikely we’ll ever find them or them us.

Russo’s employed by a billionaire who’s been in contact with
something—is it aliens or a huge hoax? The last guy to try to find the truth ended up dead in a hotel room with his brains decorating the wall behind, gun in his hand. A suicide? Or engineered to look that way by The Way of the Seven Signs, the creepy alien cult?

Russo can handle the cult part, the suicide part, the human angle. But when it comes to verifying aliens, real, honest-to-God aliens, well… he needs Claire for that.

Together, they’ll delve into the twists and turns of a conspiracy that reaches across the country and deep into the past.

Are the aliens out there? Or is someone faking it all?
