Invasion

by Laer Carroll

On a chill New Year's day before the sun rises, Tamzin Fielding discovers that Earth had been invaded by aliens.

A brilliant post-doctoral student at Caltech, the California Institute of Technology, she and a hand full of other very bright post-docs band together to figure how to fight the invasion—or even if it needs fighting.

an interesting short story

This is a slightly different take on the first contact story.
It’s done in short story format. And focuses less on meeting the aliens and how academic might plan on meeting the aliens in a slightly perfected idealized future state.

This isn’t gonna take you more than 20 minutes to reach so give it a try if you’re interested.
This is not an action/ adventure story.

A truly brilliant what if type of book. To have some type of human species that has been eons more advanced than this planet. One that has the ability to communicate with us through our own tech but not leave a foot print. And so much more reason to just pause and say what if!
