Full Negative

by Jenn Lyons

Sometimes, the worst outcome imaginable is winning.

For the human race, it's not that they didn't want to successfully beat back the alien oppressors who had controlled Earth for over a century, but that they didn't. After a hundred years of fighting, the Sarcodinay have simply decided to leave, with no explanation and no apologies.

For Malory McLain, an intelligence operative for the League of Free Worlds, the unexpected peace treaty means returning home to Earth to the megacity dome where she was born, to a past she's tried to forget.

Unfortunately, the past hasn't forgotten her.
