About This Book
An extraterrestrial scouting party faces a sudden murder just before departure and the expedition commander executes a guard to protect the mission's strict secrecy. On Earth, two security men find a grotesquely mangled body on an alkali flat near a nearly deserted desert settlement and drive into the town to investigate its oddly stagnant atmosphere. Officials debate whether to return to the landing site or wait, and the narrative follows the uneasy collision of human inquiry, alien operational caution, and the sense that ordinary places may conceal dangerous, otherworldly plans.
