"offers far more than a typical science fiction adventure"
"masterfully weaves sci-fi action with political satire"

Is Earth ready for an extraterrestrial visitor warning about a climate catastrophe?
Dee didn't plan to become the world's most wanted illegal alien. He just wanted to save a dying planet.

A cyborg ANT from Bilaluna, Dee crash-lands in a Mexican cenote and embarks on an epic road trip from the Yucatan to the Yukon across a splintered near-future America. With only a syntax generator, a bag of cicadas, and boundless optimism, he navigates climate disasters and trigger-happy vigilantes and immigration control. His mission? Warn humanity about the environmental collapse that nearly destroyed his civilization. His key ally? Seka, a brilliant Indigenous chemist with a sordid past, a spirit strong enough to tame grizzlies, and a heart warm enough to melt through his hard exoskeleton.

As ICE agents close in and climate disasters escalate, Dee realizes his warning about environmental collapse might come too late. Can Dee and Seka spark the change Earth desperately needs?

An award-winning cli-fi adventure blending first contact, political satire, and the heartwarming friendship of an alien who sees humanity's best and worst sides. Perfect for readers who love ecological science fiction with humor, hope, and an unforgettable narrator. Get Your Copy Now!

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The author, Terry Birdgenaw, is a Métis of Oji-Cree, English, Scottish, Dutch, and French-Canadian heritage, whose mother's first cousin was a long-time lead elder of the Métis Nation of Canada. However, Terry would argue that by moving away from the Oji-Cree territory a few generations ago, his family became assimilated by European Canadian culture. Yet, Terry has long been fascinated by the story of his ancestor, Mistigoose, the indigenous Canadian woman who was the first to welcome a European into his mother's family line.Mistigoose was both a tragic figure and an inspiration for this series. Her tragedy was that she drowned herself while distraught over the loss of her first son William, whom her British husband Robert had taken permanently to England. Against her will, the author's fifth great-grandfather wanted to ensure their son would be eligible to receive a handsome inheritance promised to his heir. Ironically, as British law prohibited Metis from owning property, William never received his rightful inheritance, so his translocation and mother's death were both in vain.The translation of Mistigoose, an Oji-Cree word, inspired parts of the story told in The Antunite Chronicles. In English, Mistigoose means little branch or twig. The title character of Antuna's Story, whose own mother drowned, used a twig in a selfless effort to save her newfound friend Dinomite. The resolution of the second book in the series, The Rise and Fall of Antocracy, also depended on the insectoids' realization that they needed tiny insects to break down little branches to generate the new soil required to rehabilitate their spent lands.Visit Terry at: https: //TerryBirdgenaw.comhttps: //www.instagram.com/authorterrybirdgenaw/https: //www.facebook.com/TerryBirdgenawWriter
