520    "By the fall of 2007, one well-timed leak revealing that 
       the U.S. government might have engaged in first contact 
       has sent the country into turmoil, and it is all Cora 
       Sabino can do to avoid the whole mess. The force driving 
       this controversy is Cora's whistleblower father, and even 
       though she hasn't spoken to him in years, his celebrity 
       has caught the attention of the press, the Internet, the 
       paparazzi, and the government-and redirected it to her. 
       She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are
       a hoax, and wants nothing to do with him-until she learns 
       just how deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up, 
       and that an extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth 
       for decades. To save her own life, she offers her services
       as an interpreter to a monster, and the monster accepts. 
       Learning the extent to which both she and the public have 
       been lied to, she sets out to gather as much information 
       as she can, and finds that the best way for her to find 
       the truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an 
       intermediary. The alien presence has been completely 
       uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she 
       can act as their interpreter, becoming the first and only 
       human vessel of communication. But in becoming an 
       interpreter, she begins to realize that she has become the
       voice for a being she cannot ever truly know or understand,
       and starts to question who she's speaking for-and what 
       future she's setting up for all of humanity"--|cProvided
