Snowden, but make it aliens. Overall, it's a good debut novel. The story was compelling and well-paced, and I appreciated all of those mid-2000s references. I don't necessarily love Ellis's writing style; it's generally not my favorite form of prose, but it's not bad. I'm sure first-contact fans will love it.
