If they're coming for us, who's coming for them? A first contact novel from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Relic.   The galaxy is vast, and not everything is what it seems. The invasion we always feared is here.   Which begs the question: what do the invaders fear? If not us, then what . . . or who?   And what happens to the would-be peacemakers when they find themselves in the middle of something else? Something dangerous, something highly advanced, and . . . something familiar?   If humanity is wise, we will prepare for everything we can imagine.   But we cannot prepare for what we cannot imagine.   It might be benign, it might be malign, or it might be a sign.   You just have to know where to look.   Praise for Alan Dean Foster   "Provocative." —The Washington Post   "One of the most consistently inventive and fertile writers of science fiction and fantasy." —The Times   "Alan Dean Foster is a master of creating alien worlds." —SFRevu   "Foster knows how to spin a yarn." —Starlog   "Foster does a fine job with his misfit heroes and even with his minor characters." —Publishers Weekly
