This World is Ours!

Max Field knows the pulp magazines inside out. He's been writing space operas for years, filling the glossy pages with Martians and alien empires. But when a reclusive author named Holt sends him a manuscript that reads like something more than fiction, Max finds himself drawn into a conspiracy that stretches beyond the printed word. The Kiriki are real. They've been here for centuries, hiding in plain sight, manipulating human progress from the shadows. Now their plans are nearing completion, and the Earth has a new master. Max must use his knowledge of the science fiction world to expose the truth before it's too late. This is alien infiltration at its most paranoid and pulpy: a story where the stories people dismiss as fantasy turn out to be dangerous documents, and the line between fiction and reality collapses into something far more sinister. Petaja crafts a world where imagination itself becomes a weapon against cosmic horror.
