NOTES

Why did the government keep the Roswell incident such a big secret? Seventy years later only one woman remembers the answer, and it falls on her shoulders to save humanity from the second wave of genocidal aliens. CIA linguist, Carrie Player, wants nothing more than to have a grandbaby. Unfortunately, she will have to put that hope aside while she banters with Deshler, the alien determined to eliminate the human race.Carrie is tough, vulnerable, sarcastic and the only person on Earth who can speak the aliens' language, so the CIA gets her in touch with the slightly off-kilter alien, and she wages a war for survival on her Smart Phone. As Deshler begins to soften to her wit and charm, his colleagues redouble their efforts to vanquish humanity, forcing Carrie to dash all over the planet with her Alien Affairs team to thwart their diabolical plot. Fast paced and fun. Scott Skipper is a California fiction writer with a broad range of interests, including history, genealogy, travel, science and current events. His wry outlook on life infects his novels with biting sarcasm. Prisoners are never taken. Political correctness is taboo. His work includes historical fiction, alternative history, novelized biography, science fiction and political satire. He is a voracious reader and habitual and highly opinionated reviewer. An alien reading device recovered from the Roswell crash site reveals a terrible secret about mankind. Years later one woman is the only person who can negotiate with the aliens for the sake of humanity. Carrie Player gives her all to save the species, but she not only has to match wits with an alien, she must suffer with inept presidents, terrorists, a megalomaniacal CIA director, wiseass subordinates, bipolar spies and a mysterious child. When the human race stops reproducing, she is the only person who can find a cure, but it seems like everyone is trying to stop her? Will she survive to see the species recover? What will future generations look like if there are future generations? While we struggle to prevent our extinction how can we thwart the extremists' plans for world domination? Will we ever elect competent leaders again? Fast paced and sardonic, the Alien Affairs series sets one of a kind characters against perils both homegrown and otherworldly
