The Song of the Sirens

Alex's world should be simple. High school, homework, friends, exams - the ordinary rhythms of teenage life, but life is anything but simple forty trillion kilometers from Earth! When his girlfriend, Lux, slips out of high school and onto the surface of their asteroid, she stumbles across two bodies in charred spacesuits. Everything that seems normal is suddenly being called into question. Who were they? Why were they abandoned, left to mummify in the vacuum rather than being brought home and mourned? Was it a terrible accident - or something far worse? Alex isn't sure who they can trust. The more he looks for answers, the more certain he becomes that someone doesn't want any questions being asked. Two forgotten bodies. One terrifying truth. And a chain of events that will change the course of human history. FIRST CONTACT is a series of stand-alone novels that explore humanity's first interaction with extraterrestrial life. This series is similar to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE in that it is based on a common theme rather than common characters. This allows these books to be read in any order. Technically, they're all first as they all deal with how we might initially respond to contact with aliens, exploring the social, political, religious, and scientific aspects of First Contact.
