In a near future filled with violence from terrorists and suicide cultists, the Wannoshay aliens crash-land on the Great Plains of America and Canada.
Less than a dozen years from now, over thirty black ships containing the aliens the world will come to know as the Wannoshay arrive on the frozen earth of the Great Plains of America and Canada.
Over the course of a year, the aliens attempt to become part of American society, only to be banished to internment camps when they are suspected of causing a series of deadly explosions at their new jobs.
A handful of humans who made early contact with the Wannoshay converge on the aliens' mother ship to stand up for the oppressed aliens' rights.
Once there, however, they soon learn that the aliens, just like humans, are not without guilt, and the humans must decide whether they should keep the aliens locked up or help them return to their homeworld to undo their misdeeds.
One of the best books I have read in the last 12 months, Jasper has produced a book that brings it all together - engaging story, realistic characters, and something that will stay with you after you have read it.
Sherwood Smith
The Wannoshay Cycle is a strong, absorbing book, well balanced between the real and the fantastic. I believe it works not just for genre readers, but it also would make an excellent introduction for mainstream readers curious about the genre of science fiction.
