Foreign Embassy

Fifteen-year-old Ron Gibson was there when Talperno ship dropped from clouds to set up shop by the Washington Monument. In fact, they very nearly landed on Ron and his friends when their ship, an eighty story concrete office building, touched down. Stunned, but raised on a diet of science fiction and adventure movies, the boys marched through the front door and became the first humans to meet the Talperno.

A decade later, Ron is writing a book on the visitors. His quest leads him to South Florida, and to beautiful Patricia Scott, whose xenophobic father may have discovered the chilling secret of what the Talperno really have in mind for humanity.

Now Ron must convince the government that things are not as they seem. But to do that he has to survive, and that doesn’t seem terribly likely.
