The Delegate from Venus

Washington’s reporters are waiting to see what a delegate from Venus looks like. Jerry Bridges learns that the visitor is already circling Earth—and that asking questions can get him locked up.

In Cold War Washington, secret meetings, unexplained spacecraft reports and Soviet demands for a summit have Jerry, a restless newspaper reporter, convinced that a story is breaking. His source, Greta Johnson, confirms the astonishing news: a ship from Venus wants permission to land a delegate and speak with Earth’s nations. But the government wants silence, and Jerry’s path to the landing site comes with a strict price: he can witness what happens, but he can’t report it first. With the world’s leaders weighing a reply and the public kept in the dark, can Jerry hold his tongue long enough to discover who—or what—is coming to Earth?
