- Synopsis
- A lonely scientist stumbles upon a disaster in the making: the Earth will be turned into a crater-pocked ruin and millions of people will be killed, unless she can convince someone to take action. But who would believe an ordinary young woman who said such a thing, especially if there is no record she is an astronaut...and especially if she also claims to be the first of her people to have returned home from a different solar system? The U. S. government believes her, and hunts her with all the forces it can muster. With the help of a few odd friends, and while running for her life, she devises an audacious plan to get people's attention. But once that is done, how will she ever make her way in our world? "Distant Cousin is the best novel I have read in a long time. I can name about ten that I like better, and then I run out of titles. It's a screenplay waiting to become a Spielberg movie. The magic in E.T. and Close Encounters is also prevalent in Distant Cousin. It will stamp its wonderful magic on your soul." From http://iuniversebookreviews.blogspot.com/2007/01/distant-cousin.html
