They came from the sky. They entered our minds. But they may not be the enemy.
When enormous translucent creatures descend over Colorado's Rocky Mountains, civilization collapses into terror. Their luminous tentacles do more than kill-they invade perception, distort memory, and transform reality into a weapon.
In the isolated mountain town of Leadville, survivors Bob Norsmuth and Clark Wesley are drawn into a secret war against the beings humanity calls jellies. A military counter-network believes the creatures can be captured, studied, and destroyed. But every encounter raises disturbing questions about what the jellies are-and why they have come.
As Bob and Clark struggle with addiction, trauma, and memories they can no longer trust, the boundary between human and monster begins to disappear. What appears to be an invasion may instead be the beginning of something unimaginable: the next stage of human evolution.
To save what remains of their world, the survivors must choose between resistance and transformation-and decide whether humanity's greatest enemy is the creature descending from the heavens or the fear living within the human mind.
From the author of Hold Still the Sky, Monsters of Utopia is a provocative science-fiction thriller combining apocalyptic suspense, psychological mystery, alien contact, and a visionary exploration of collective consciousness.
What if the end of humanity is only the beginning?
