About the book

Is Earth ready for an extraterrestrial visitor? Is the alien prepared for what awaits him? Dee didn't plan to become the world's most wanted illegal alien. He just wanted to find his friends. A cyborg ANT from Bilaluna, Dee crash-lands in a Mexican cenote and embarks on an epic road trip from the Yucatan to the Yu ... kon across a splintered near-future America. He travels with only a syntax generator and a bag of cicadas and has little understanding of human politics. He befriends Earth insects, rescues kidnapped teens, and battles the elements and a trigger-happy border patrol. His key ally? Seka, a brilliant Indigenous chemist with a sordid past, a spirit strong enough to tame grizzlies, and a heart warm enough to melt through his hard exoskeleton. But as ICE agents close in and climate disasters escalate, Dee realizes his warning about environmental collapse might come too late. Can Dee and Seka spark the change Earth desperately needs? Find out in Cyborg Contact, an action-packed cli-fi road trip featuring first contact, political satire, and the ultimate fish-out-of-water hero.
