    About this ebook

    Unexpected visitors always upset a household, no matter everyone's intentions. But when the visitors are another species from a distant galaxy, all bets are off. This is a series of related stories describing the clash within humanity as they deal with the unknown, and how they either rise to the challenge or are destroyed by it.

    The series starts with Stranded in a Foreign Land, as a young man discovers a shipwrecked alien in dire straits. He then gathers his friends and they set out to rescue the alien's shipmates, before the U.S. government can capture them, kill them and steal their technologies to sell to the highest corporate bidder.

    The Lad Who Poked the Devil in the Eye continues, as a younger man discovers an alien agent who befriends him. Just before killing himself, he saves the boy and grants him a boon: intelligence on how the aliens plan to enslave the entire human race.

    Vincent Berg

    Vincent Berg worked in both Chicago and Manhattan, working as a consultant designing computer systems for financial institutions, so this story was a return trip, allowing him to capitalize on his in-depth knowledge of the city and the complex financial issues involved in the story. More than this, the story allowed him to move away from his extensive science fiction background, and delve into some real-world relationship issues. He was familiar with many of the story’s locations, though he had no real connection with the city management, and no run-ins with the law to speak of. But often working on wall street, and walking back and forth between assignments and his apartment on 18th street, he spent a lot of time around City Hall, One Police Plaza and the other areas the story addresses.
