Aliens from an unknown solar system visit Earth in this darkly humorous science fiction novel.
An alien ship enters a new solar system with the mission of mining ore for its electricity-based planet, Metallon. The crew hopes to utilize the first rocky planet to complete their task-until the ship's AI informs the captain that their destination is already inhabited by beings called humans.
Now the otherworldly group must make reluctant contact with humans in order to get what they need and get back home. But as the aliens acquire more information about these strange creatures and their even stranger civilization, they begin to realize this mission may be bigger than they realized. What starts as an alien visit to Earth may just transform the world in extraordinary ways.
This insightful science fiction commentary on humanity presents a fascinating vision of a new age for the planet-and all the other magnificent creatures lurking in the universe.
