A First Contact Thriller

The Ones Who Wear Us

He is winning every state.

He is beloved.

He is not human.

Then the sky answers.

Concept cover for The Ones Who Wear Us: a smiling politician at a rally, a seam of scaled skin visible along his temple

The election is six weeks out. The only witness is a reporter nobody believes.

Out November 3

Maya Castellano came home for dinner in time to watch a tall man walk out of her parents' house. By Monday the case file no longer existed, and the only person who had seen the killer's face was a small-paper reporter nobody believed.

Six months later she sees that face again: on a cable feed, fifteen feet from the most trusted man in America, six weeks before he wins everything.

Then the sky answers. The truth arrives in every mind on Earth at once, undeniable and unasked for. And the world thanks the lie.
