We made First Contact on the Moon—and now he’s on his way to Earth. Nuclear scientist Tom Whitaker never expected a lunar mission to become humanity’s first encounter with an alien intelligence—or the moment his life fractured in every direction.

When he’s drawn into a secret that could reshape Earth’s future, Tom risks his career, custody of his daughter, and possibly his life to protect an alien visitor who may be humanity’s greatest opportunity… or its most dangerous unknown. Amidst corporate intrigue, mysterious sabotage, and rising xenophobia, the government closes in as fear spreads faster than truth.

Tom is thrust into a race against time to prevent Earth’s annihilation—and must decide whether trust between worlds is even possible. A fast-paced science fiction adventure blending humor, heart, and second chances, Alien Neighbors is a deeply hopeful story of friendship and sacrifice—where courage rises through struggle, love endures through hardship, and connection is found in the most unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Artemis and the return to the Moon. Escape from the troubles of Earth for a while with this fun and uplifting story that brings hope to humanity!
