Drinking Heavy Water

SECOND CONTACT




Aidan Redding's entire goal for her time in this universe: behave. For once. Discovering seafaring aliens trashes that plan.




The aliens raise questions. Her co-workers raise more.




The answers explain it all. And ruin everything.




On a world where gravity changes every second, Redding finds herself involuntarily allied with a mathematician from Soviet Texas as she races to save not just herself but civilization.




Forget aliens. Nothing threatens Earth's golden age so much as ordinary human beings.
