The Rosetta Mind: Book Two of the Rosetta Series

by Claire Mccague

Overview

Estlin Hume awakes alone, in his bed, near the small town of Twin Butte, Alberta, to find he's surrounded by aliens, affectionate squirrels, government representatives, and military personnel. That's nothing new! But a giant (12-acre x 30 meters deep) cuttlefish-filled saltwater tank is now suspended above his house! WTF.

Estlin was originally hired as an official translator, a go-between, if you will, to facilitate communications amongst humanity and the first-contact aliens. But now there's that tank of cuttlefish to contend with!

Faced with ill-advised messages from government, Estlin finds himself at the center of a first contact crisis, challenged with the overwhelming interference of unsympathetic militaries and random acts of violence from unknown nefarious agents. All of which are determined to find out for themselves what the aliens really want. No matter the cost! No matter the outcome!
