This book was seriously lacking in plot. Brady’s internalized homophobia and the narrator reading Cam’s dialogue in a flat monotone made me totally uninterested in the couple so I was just here for the aliens. Unfortunately, there’s very little info about the aliens (what’s their physiology, culture, and planet like? What was first contact like? What’s the military’s current strategy?) so this was a bore. Also, the alien communication via sex thing was a stupidly unnecessary trauma gimmick
