About This Book

David Loring and his partner Janice are drawn from a familiar domestic scene into an encounter with an apparent extraterrestrial intrusion. Janice awakens to a mysterious, attractive stranger in her locked room; later a saucer-shaped craft hovers overhead and a beautiful, nonhuman woman overwhelms David with scent and physical closeness that muddles his mind. The narrative follows their mounting confusion and fear as they seek to understand what has happened, moving through escalating episodes that probe themes of seduction by the unfamiliar, loss of control, and the fragile boundary between ordinary life and alien influence.
