Invasive Species
Anne B. Reed, author

THERE’S A PLETHORA OF INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET about Extraterrestrial Contact, Alien Abductions, and UFO sightings. You laugh it off as conspiracy theory absurdity, if you consider it at all. Until the unthinkable happens….

Despite Colin’s degree in Environmental Science, he never once considered the possibility he might have to weigh the ecological impact of Extraterrestrial Contact, to protect Earth from fatal contamination by extraterrestrials visiting his planet—or to attempt deep space battle with a sentient reptilian race intent on reclaiming Earth.

It began when Colin learned his girlfriend Rhianna is the daughter of advanced extraterrestrials who immigrated to Earth twenty years ago. He hoped these remarkably advanced beings would have equally advanced solutions to solve a plethora of global crises from pollution to nuclear proliferation. When they invite him to participate in their mission, he meets the governing council of the United Confederation of Planets. He learns they have been monitoring Earth, and is horrified when they suggest implementing sanctions and culling as solutions to mankind’s problems.

They claim they’re here to help, but he suspects their plan to protect planet Earth won’t include saving the human species that has overrun her. They’re more concerned about an ancient reptilian race invading this sector of their territory than they are about saving Earth’s inhabitants from attack, or occupation by alien/human hybrids.

A political maelstrom forms as the extraterrestrials debate the best course of action—which may be to do nothing. Colin must convince them humanity is Earth’s most valuable resource and find a better solution. He believes Rhianna’s parents have the answer, but their grand design to save the planet relies on him to figure it out for himself. He will need all the help he can get, but his only volunteers for a perilous, clandestine mission are a misfit group of college roommates, former platoon buddies, and their amazing alien girlfriends.

The Prairie Book Review

An intelligent, informed, and entertaining read…

Anne B. Reed brings to life the story of Rhianna, the daughter of advanced extraterrestrials, who immigrated to Earth two decades ago, and Colin, a former marine and environmental science student, who must save the world from malicious alien monsters in this entertaining and lively space tale. In a universe filled with ambitious alien species, a one particular race of aliens is ready to carve up Earth, and the United Confederation of Planets is the only answer to the Earth’s problems. It’s up to Colin to convince the federation to act on behalf of Earth. Reed beautifully portrays her characters’ moral and emotional dilemmas, who are wrapped up in familiar emotions of love and insecurities while skillfully exploring a plethora of global crises themes from environmental pollution to nuclear proliferation. Readers will find the interactions between humans and extraterrestrials extremely interesting. The story is set against a backdrop of bizarrely fascinating races, and Reed explores the serious global crisis subjects in a sophisticated yet lighthearted tone, making it a breezy read. Though critics of “alien abductions conspiracies theories” may find the plot element incomprehensible, Reed’s intelligent and informative prose makes it highly convincing. With its fast pacing, well-crafted plotting, and fascinating set of lively characters as well as plenty of action and intrigue, this solid work is sure to delight science fiction lovers. With the monstrous alien species still at large toward the finale, Reed offers a possibility of another installment in the future.
