photographic printing. He holds a double degree from Caltech in
English and physics, and is the author of more than five hundred

“A terrific story of alien first contact. It’s a book Michael
Crichton would have enjoyed, but never could have written...With
the able partnership of Ctein, it’s fast, scientifically
believable, and peopled by characters who become good friends. Fans
of Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers will eat this up.”—Stephen
King
“Three things to now: First, I’m the world’s biggest John Sandford
fan. Second: I saw this book and thought... What? Third: I needn’t
have worried. It’s vintage Sandford all the way, with all his
trademark strengths and insights, except set in the future, not the
present. You won’t be disappointed.”—Lee Child
“Utterly captivating!...the heart of a breakneck thriller and the
mind of the best science fiction (Bradbury and Heinlein come to
mind).... Sandford and Ctein have brilliantly pulled off the
difficult task of making a very different world familiar, proving
that a born storyteller is a storyteller, whether he sets his books
on mean streets or in deep space. I, for one, want more.”—Jeffrey
Deaver
