Illegal Alien

By: Robert J. Sawyer

Narrated by: Joe Barrett

When a disabled spaceship enters Earth's atmosphere, seven members of the advanced Tosok race are welcomed by the world. Then a popular scientist is murdered, and all evidence points to one of the Tosoks. Now, an alien is tried in a court of law -and there may be far more at stake than accounting for one human life.

Everything Sawyer

Sawyer is a spectacular writer. Every book is an exploration of interesting ideas on science fictional themes. Read everything he writes.

Science and Fiction

This story is dated technologically. However, the questions it raises are front and center as we plan the colonization of Mars.

Sci-Fi-Courtroom-Drama?? Yes!!

Yet again Sawyer hits ANOTHER home run!

What a great story! I just loved it – glued to the developments and did not want to put it down.

I expected nothing less from this author; terrific!
