Acting Human

—hard science fiction with a heart—
—a character-driven first contact story with aliens and sentient AIs—
—a thrilling tale set on a global stage and steeped in political intrigue—

Assassins target Miharu while a deadly plot to destroy the arkship unfolds.
Enemy commandos are after Interstellar Ambassador Miharu, but the greatest threat may be a Chinese space capsule launched by rogue elements. Miharu must navigate global intrigue as a Canadian mayor and a businessman in Kolkata move to seize opportunities, while President Amber Cloud Voss’s response to the arkship’s approach is hampered by American politics. Aliens and AIs mimic human behavior, each for their own reasons.

If you loved the high-stakes action of The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi and the character-driven complexity of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, don’t miss this continuation of the Interstellar Refugees trilogy.
