He wasn’t looking at Jeff or me, and he was still pacing. Jeff somehow reined in the jealousy all on his own. Either he wanted to impress me, or Chuckie’s stress levels were particularly high. I figured on the latter. He shot a worried glance at Chuckie, then looked at me. “With the C.I.A.?” “In a way. More with what you were doing in Paris.” Jeff nodded. “Whatever we were fighting, they weren’t superbeings.” I felt all proud. “See, Chuckie? Someone other than us was monitoring the weird.” Chuckie heaved a sigh. “And that makes it better how?” “Pardon me, Mister Glass Half Empty.” “It doesn’t,” Jeff agreed. “We have nothing left to study.” “You weren’t able to contain them any other way?” Chuckie asked. “No. We weren’t the ones who destroyed them.” “This delightful romp has many interesting twists and turns as it glances at racism, politics, and religion en route. It will have fanciers of cinematic sf parodies referencing Men in Black, Ghost Busters, and X-Men.” —Booklist (starred review) DAW Books Presents GINI KOCH’s Alien Novels: TOUCHED BY AN ALIEN ALIEN TANGO ALIEN IN THE FAMILY ALIEN PROLIFERATION ALIEN DIPLOMACY (coming in April 2012)
