Description
On a warm March night in 2083, Judy Wallach-Stevens investigates a warning in the Chesapeake Bay—and instead encounters the first alien visitors to Earth. Their arrival brings a high-stakes proposition: leave a ravaged world behind and join them among the stars, with the unsettling possibility that refusal could be met with force. As competing powers—corporations, nation-states, and the grassroots watershed networks that once reorganized humanity to keep the planet livable—struggle to define what “saving” means, Judy must help translate not only language, but values, consent, and responsibility across species. Blending extra-terrestrial diplomacy with urgent climate repair, this literary, Le Guin–descended novel explores collective decision-making, ecological justice, and the fragile, hard-won hope of building a future worth inhabiting.
