About this book

Seventeen-year old pizza delivery boy Joe Smith lives a simple life — he has a bike, a job, and a crush on a girl. That’s about it. He doesn’t have dreams beyond working on the family farm and continuing to live in the same rural community in which he was born. Until one night when everything changed.After finishing his shift at the pizzeria, he heads home, riding his bike down a lonesome stretch of highway. Guided by the dim glow from the moonlight and a small light affixed to his helmet, he battles fatigue as he struggles to peddle the long distance home.When a strange object flies overhead fast and low, and crashes into a neighbour’s cornfield, Joe is quick to investigate. Thinking it was a small plane or a downed satellite, Joe rushes to the scene of the crash. What he discovers is far beyond anything he has ever seen or even imagined before. The strange craft is definitely not from this planet.Hiding among the tall stalks of corn, Joe watches with caution as a mysterious being crawls out from the rubble.
