Mysterious but seemingly peaceful aliens visit Earth and give select people a miraculous and terrifying gift in this highly original sci-fi novel.
“I am Aaron Lee Fairfax. I am forty‑three years old. I am married to Janessa, but she wants a divorce. I work for Thagg, Morgan, and Edwards Brokerage Group in Kansas City, Missouri.
