Publisher Description
Flee. Scatter. Take your mates and your offspring and run.
A new Science Fiction Romance from Angel Martinez
The escape pods fall to Earth one by one over the course of weeks, a mysterious and diverse alien diaspora, each pod containing a different alien race and leaving the world's governments scrambling to deal with this unexpected immigration. Serge Kosygin, still grieving and isolated after his husband's death, watches events with gray disinterest until one day he witnesses a pod crash for himself while driving home. Two of the alien visitors have died, but one survives, badly injured, and Serge is determined that if this alien is also going to die, it won't be under the harsh lights of a government facility.
Devastated by the loss of his life mates in their desperate effort to reach safety, the knowledge that Een is the last Aalana in this sector of the galaxy only compounds his sorrow. He wakes in an alien dwelling under the care of one of the native dominant builder species, a being who appears to share nothing with Een besides a bipedal structure. Slowly, with the help of his patient and kind host, he discovers they are more similar than he imagined as they share harmonies and his host assists him with language acquisition.
Their tentative first contact soon evolves into a deepening friendship, a balm for two grief-weary souls. They'll need each other and their growing bond for the troubles lurking just ahead.

Customer Reviews
Caring about others, brings its own rewards.
Een, fled to earth with his mates Laiin and Aal. His mates perished during the crash landing. Serge depressed from the loss of his partner, Josh made a decision to climb out of his despair that changed his life. He decided to help the live alien being he found and keep the information from the government whom he perceived was not being honest with the world on what was happening with the alien immigrants. The bodies were taken to Pitt. An agency, Office of Alien Affairs called and asked Serge how many bodies he found. Wisely, Serge was cautious. What is intent of OAA? Are they friendly? Is this world welcoming and cmpassionate? Do Serge and Een find common communication? Good story. Lots of interesting unexpected twists. Great characters. Well done! I received and ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
