Genre: 
SciFi
Release date: August 11, 
2013
Seven billion people on 
Earth go about their daily lives, and no one is prepared when a global EMP slows 
the world to a crawl. With all our technology incapacitated, everything changes. 
Within days alien soldiers line the streets, and life will never be the same. 
Rachael struggles to adapt to the new order, doing her best to keep herself and 
her cat alive.
On a ship far above the 
planet surface, Peter just got his new Earth name, and can’t even remember his 
identity from the last world he visited. It’s another day on the job, one more 
world on a never-ending list. That is, until Rachael bumps into him, dropping 
exotic objects all around his feet. His culture taught him females should be 
obeyed and protected, but he never had an urge to leave himself at a woman’s 
mercy until now.
Rachael’s neighbor Ryan 
hounds her to join a brewing resistance movement and make a stand against the 
newcomers. She still befriends Peter, enthralled by his enigmatic personality 
and hypnotic golden eyes. Would falling in love with an alien be treason against 
humanity? When the rebellion gains momentum and open conflict with the newcomers 
is a fact, Rachael’s personal insurrection might be her doom, or bring salvation 
to us all.
Author 
Bio:
Born in Sweden in the early 
1970's, Maria showed a large interest for books at an early age. Even before she 
was able to read or write, she made her mom staple papers together into booklets 
she filled with drawings of suns and planets. She proudly declared them, "The 
Sun Book." They were all about the sun. She also claimed, to her mother's 
horror, that her being on Earth was a big mistake and that her alien family 
would come and bring her home at any moment. This never happened, but both the 
interest in space and the passion for bookmaking stayed with 
her.
As an adult Maria's 
creativity got an outlet through playing bass in a number of rock bands, and 
through writing technical manuals and making web pages for various companies and 
organizations. She did write drafts for a few novels, but the storytelling muse 
was mostly satisfied through role playing online on Myspace. It was here, while 
writing stories together with people from around the globe, she stumbled onto 
Mike. They started talking out of character, and she moved over to Florida to 
him late 2008. Today the two are married and live in the Tampa Bay area with 
three rescue dogs.
Besides writing and playing 
bass, Maria enjoys driving off-road, archery, and 
Tameshigiri.
