To Own Two Suns

From its Kirkus review: "Imaginative high-stakes SF breathes fresh life into the alien-first-contact genre." Their verdict: Get It.

LeighBee: "I laughed at the clever humor…the perspective and writing style is novel…alien driven science fiction." 4 out of 4 stars

Morgi Knowledge:  "Only against great odds, can greatness be revealed."

Morgi Belief: "Divine Chance rules the universe."

Capt. Jerry Jerrison is a scientist, not a true captain. He and his crew sacrificed twenty years of their lives to be the Kuiper belt's first explorers. He discovers an alien ship inhabited by a single Morgi scout.

The two strongest Morgi clans are fighting for ownership of earth. All humanity will soon become an unavoidable casualty of their war. The lone Morgi scout is from the weaker alien clan.

Can Capt. Jerry Jerrison, a reclusive scientist, become a warrior and reveal human greatness? If not, both Muni's clan and all humanity will be exterminated.

Even if Jerrison succeeds, can aliens who employ realpolitic ("Doctor, which is better — a great peace supported by a lie or a massacre justified by the truth?") be trusted?
