About this ebook
In a small village in rural Western Australia, introspective long-distance runner Johnson meets Rebecca, a talkative farmer's wife. Has Johnson stumbled on an alien invasion plan, or is Rebecca simply crazy... Only the unborn baby knows for sure -- and he talks only to his mother. This is science fiction with a light-hearted vein of humour; a short story to be enjoyed by all readers.
