Reviews

"Doucette's genial, leisurely novel feels like a throwback to the squeaky-clean science fiction of the mid-twentieth century . . . The town is vividly realized and described . . . [and] Doucette's dry sense of humor and obvious affection for his characters go a long way . . . A warmhearted ode to a simpler time and place in a community so small that everybody knows everybody else's business." -- Kirkus Reviews"An enormously enjoyable first contact story you won't forget, from a talented new voice in sci-fi!" -- A. G. Riddle, best-selling author of The Atlantis Gene and Pandemic
