Offworlders

Offworlders is a collection of short stories exploring what it means to be alien and human.

For a young spy with extranormal abilities, and her weary group of travelers, a wonderful blue planet holds the key to their people's survival. Magnificent technology from the stars is often weaponized by small-minded people seeking power or money. A planetary warlord's relics could help a self-important man transcend mortality. To travelers from across the universe, the small blue planet on the fringe of a spiral galaxy may be a haven from imperial persecution. And for Peacemonger, he no longer needs to protect the planet from galactic threats, but now must defend it from the world's very own denizens on the cusp of self-annihilation.

Earth has been visited by many beings from the stars. Galactic criminals seeking sanctuary, lost travelers seeking help to return home, and curious minds from far away worlds have all stepped foot on the third rock from the sun. And their encounters have affected humanity in multiple ways. Religion, technology, psychology, social constructs, and so much more have all been skewed by close encounters of the third kind.
And now, the Neurosapiens community has been affected by foolish talk of alien lineage and tainted bloodlines. Sadly, humanity may never fully comprehend the true celestial connection that Neurosapiens have with the universe.
