Description
All life comes from the sun. Sometimes, death comes with it.
Filled with hope and compelled by fear, four would-be heroes are driven from their home planet in a desperate bid to save their civilization from extinction. But survival takes on a whole new meaning when a malfunction sends their ship plummeting toward Earth.
Surviving the crash is only the first obstacle on their path to salvation. The marooned aliens soon discover that Earth’s beautiful exterior masks an ugly foundation, a place inhabited by a warrior race that’s on a path toward self-destruction.
Brimming with action and intrigue, People of the Sun is sure to entice fans of dark fantasy and sci-fi thrillers such as Watchmen and I Am Number Four.
"Jason Parent has penned a thought-provoking, gripping scifi thriller. This isn't your grandma's alien invasion. My own world stopped the moment I stepped into People of the Sun. Lovers of science fiction, horror and even super heroes will revel in this roller-coaster of a tale. A true must-read!" Hunter Shea, author of We Are Always Watching and The Jersey Devil
“With his own indelible blend of tension and dark humor, Jason Parent’s latest page-turner reminds me of what you’d get if you crossed Isaac Asimov with Kurt Vonnegut. In addition to being fast-paced and wildly entertaining, Parent’s novel also offers the occasional flash of insight into the human (and not-so-human) condition, and displays Parent’s talent for turning a given genre on its head.” -Michael Meyerhofer, author of The Dragonkin Trilogy

People of the Sun is an emotionally gripping book about the encroachment of an alien population onto Earth. Symorians are preparing for a mission to save their own planet when a disaster strikes, forcing their ship to crash on Earth. Local men find a foreign aircraft and have unimaginable experiences right from the start. The first interactions are enthralling and remind us how different worlds could be. I was captivated by the author's choice of description for each lot part of the plot. To imagine what it would be like to encounter aliens, this book definitely gives you that feeling. How we, as a civilization, handle the entrance of a new species unlike us, but so much like us, became quite realistic, rather quickly in this novel. The conversations, government decisions, and the destruction we could face, felt real. What I found most gripping about this novel, was how much alike we were of the Symorians. I felt for them as a species. I imagined what it would be like. This is a must read for any sci-fi reader.

Since long I did not read a good Sci-Fi. What do we do if we meet some nasty powerful aliens? It's a gripping story.
Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for this copy.

Gripping story. The characters choices all felt real.. It is a dark story but not one drenched in misery.Interesting concept of aliens. It hearkens back to many star trek episodes.
