Graffiti on the Wall of the Universe

<p>Annie Collins emerged from the wreckage of the last<em> </em>invasion of Sorrow Falls with a spaceship in her garden a loud alien idea in her head and-because returning to college was out of the question-a lot of free time.</p><p>What she chose to do with the idea the spaceship and all that free time kickstarted a worldwide technological boom. Now nine years later it seems as if not a day passes without the announcement of a new breakthrough in <em>something</em> be it quantum computing nuclear energy neurobiology or some other esoteric corner of cutting-edge science.</p><p>The world is in the middle of a revolution of ideas and the best part? Hardly anyone knows Annie's involved at all.</p><p>Yes everything seems to be working out just great...until the day another spaceship shows up in Sorrow Falls.</p><p>This new visitor<em> seems</em> just like the one buried in Annie's garden: same design same matte black hull sitting in the same spot in the same empty field. But there are important differences.</p><p>For starters if it's truly a spaceship at all it didn't come from space; it just... appeared. Also this one didn't arrive alone. On the same day Sorrow Falls acquired a new spaceship identical versions manifested in over a dozen locations across the world. All of them just sitting there not doing anything.</p><p>At first.</p><p>Who sent these new ships? Why did they send them? What do they want? Annie-with Ed and Violet and the rest of the Sorrow Falls survivors-are going to have to figure that out and fast. Because this time around they don't have three years to work with; they barely have three months before the end of the world.</p><p><strong>Graffiti on the Wall of the Universe</strong> is the exciting follow-up to <strong>The Spaceship Next Door </strong>and <strong>The Frequency of Aliens</strong>.</p>
