NOTES

Humanity was a sort of biology experiment conducted for a few million years by the aliens from Tau Ceti 4. The experiment is finished and the human race is no longer necessary, so they sent a team to release a synthetic virus to sterilize us, thus eliminating the species humanely, but the first attempt failed due to bad navigation over Roswell, New Mexico. Seventy years later a second team was on track to complete success until an alien named Deshler got a message from Carrie Player, the only person on earth who could speak his language. She browbeat, cajoled and sweet-talked the single-minded alien into betraying his mission-at least in part.Now almost the entire human race is infertile, the aliens are on their way home and Carrie Player, head of the CIA's Department of Alien Affairs, is burdened with the task of finding a solution in the vast trove of alien data that Deshler left her. He also left her carrying his offspring who may or may not be the savior of the species.At the same time, in another bureau of the spy organization, a team races to find the mastermind of a new kind of suicide bomber that is spreading a deadly epidemic in Southern California. No one suspects that their paths are converging. 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
