Author Description

Suppose you are an archaeologist who excavated an extraterrestrial capsule. What would you do with it? Dr. Kate LaFleur faced that quandary. The ambitious Kate decided to analyze it like any other archaeological find. She mounted a super-secret project to open up the capsule and study its contents. Inside was a wealth of partially decipherable information about a distant planet and its bizarre inhabitants. After Kate and her interdisciplinary team publicly reported the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth, they faced death threats from religious zealots; her apartment was bombed; and a team member was shot. What else could possibly go wrong? In the wake of a dispute over the capsule’s ownership, she was arrested and charged with three federal crimes. Kate LaFleur’s narrative of this fantastic archaeological adventure is so realistic you will believe the improbable events actually happened.
