Description
As the Second American Civil War wanes, Mary the Exoputian awaits her chance to contact the Folbulae—a highly advanced species of extraterrestrial, only to be hunted down by the dictator of the Sovereign States of America, Vladimir Booth.
With rising tides and thawing tundra, the Exoputians—a new species of human genetically created to live in Space and communicate with the Folbulae, land in the Republic of Texas following a missile strike on their space station. Mary and the other Exoputians learn of the lies their progenitor taught them, training the space-bred crew to use their novel communication to cure the planet they’d never set foot on. As Mary and the others road trip through racially segregated America, they encounter multiple attempts on their lives to follow through with their once-mission of saving the planet from the climate crisis.
Discover with Mary what’s worth saving on a planet prepared to destroy her entire species.

Advance Praise
"I found the book to be a combination of an enlightened understanding of the plight of non-white Americans and brutally honest in the treatment to be given by hate filled people."
★★★★★ -"this uses the American Civil War part 2 perfectly for telling the story, it had a great overall feel to it and the world felt similar but still be something different." Kathryn M (archived listing on NetGalley)
★★★★ -"An interesting premise which feels way too real. Showing what could happen during a second American civil war, this book has plenty to like. While it may not be for everyone, I'd say anyone who is a fan of science fiction or urban fantasy will enjoy this like I have:)" Christopher S (archived listing on NetGalley)
