The dull-gray object really did resemble the old
movie versions of a flying saucer. A large, upside-down saucer was exactly how
it appeared—with the familiar hieroglyphics impressed around its protruding
rim.
A hatch, its boundaries invisible upon the seamless
hull until it began to open, swung wide. The aliens had come. As if in answer
to Velia’s cherished dream, she was about to meet them. She gripped the edges
of the control podium hard, afraid she’d go lightheaded at this most momentous
of occasions.
One creature stepped out. Velia had been warned
the beings were unsettling. She had to agree the warnings had been correct,
though not in the way she’d expected. This was not a four-foot-tall,
black-eyed, expressionless Gray. Not by a long shot.
Holy shit.
It was the only coherent thought her brain could come up with.
The entity staring about his surroundings was gorgeous. Inhuman, but gorgeous. He was at least six-and-a-half feet tall. Golden with white stripes. Pointed white-tipped ears, like a fox, with a brushy zebra-type mane between them, continuing down to between his shoulder blades. And beefcake muscled, a fact Velia couldn’t miss because the enormous alien was naked.
Releasing from Carina Press on October 29. Available for pre-order now!
