GENRE:
Science Fiction

Was
it an accident, sabotage, or murder? And why is everyone blaming
Jeff?
The
extraterrestrials aren’t waiting for answers. They want revenge.
And Jeff isn’t ready for company.
His
only hope is an outcast mechanic from another world and a woman who
might do anything to get off planet, including selling out her own
kind. Jeff has to get to the bottom of why there are so many alien
bodies piling up and who is really responsible.
A
science fiction adventure novel, A Beginner’s Guide to Invading
Earth tells the story of a reclusive ex-computer programmer who is
the unwitting central figure of a plot to keep humanity from ever
making first contact.

Excerpt:
Jeff
fought to breathe as he spun about in Whistleʹ s tightening grasp.
He saw the Grey standing calmly by, an odd smile on its tiny,
noseless face. It was transfixed by the action and violence. As
Whistleʹ s swathe through the ranks of the Clyptus grew, the Grey
tittered.
“Hi,”
Jordan said to the Grey.
It
hadn’t seen her approach. It was too focused on the brawl. Jordan
punched the short alien. The Greyʹ s head snapped back, and its big
eyes fluttered. The Grey crumpled, its weapon flying out of its hand.
Before it lost consciousness, it released the scent of rotten eggs.
“And
here I thought you liked me,” Jordan said.
Meanwhile,
Oliop jumped on Whistle and latched onto her head with arms and legs
and tail, blinding her. She grabbed at him. When she did, the
remaining Clyptus struck at her. They moved over their stomped,
battered, and torn companions and stabbed away at the rocky creature.
Their darts and stickers poked uselessly at her hardened exterior.
Some shot her with their energy weapons, but the yellow beams did
nothing. All the while, Jeff wrestled and clawed at Whistleʹ s thick
arm, but he couldʹ t break free.

**SPOILER FREE**
I don't even know what to say about this book other than you have to read it! I'm not really into SCI-FI. But I took the chance on this book and oh my goodness. It was a treat to come home know this book was waiting for me to read after a crazy day. It light in the sci-fi area as well as some humor to it. Needless to say I finished this book fairly quick from enjoying so much!
