Book Description Picking up where her debut Groom Lake, NV left off, a UFO hovers over the Nevada desert as American scientists and soldiers stare agog. The visiting aliens, a race called the Kr'mlac, come in peace and love. They want to study the human race and, in return, allow themselves to be studied by humanity. Mostly, they want a communal exchange of knowledge and ideas. And the United States will have none of it! Quarantined to Area 51, the Kr'mlac are forced to live in old nuclear bunkers until the upper branches of the Pentagon reclassify them as nonthreatening. A series of interviews, held by characters we've grown to know and love in the previous Groom Lake book, give insight on the Kr'mlac, the difference between their lifestyles and human lifestyles, and inherent hypocrisies and fallacies of modern American life. With her knack for biting satire, Lucy Morgan presents a Swiftian assessment of the U.S. as it looks to outside observers — from light-years away! With the Kr'mlac held prisoner, they have little choice but to adapt; however, the illogic of modern society makes it difficult for Assimilation. |
