Alexa, play “Loving the Alien” by Velvet Revolver.

What a unique and weird little book! Our main character is a Vonnadorian alien who was sent to Earth with a particular mission, tasked to him by “the hosts.” He is given Andrew Martin’s body (but not his mind) and must destroy the professor’s newest work and anyone who knows about it. But what happens when he starts to care for those he is meant to destroy? Haig shows how hard it can be just to be human. He gives the reader rules for making life a little better and tools to practice empathy and compassion. Maybe the aliens are already among us, and they just couldn’t resist being human.
