- Alien Body: Phane, #1
1
In Alien Body (sci-fi, 80,000 words), Physician Dave Booker is shocked to discover an alien living in his summer cabin. Phane, the alien, is an anthropologist from another star system. His shuttlecraft has crashed, and he must regain it before the mothership gives him up for dead. But Dave is dumbfounded by the alien's appearance, a large, green tennis ball with two eyes on tentacles above his head. Dave's ambitious boss captures Phane, but he escapes. In a wild chase, Phane flees determined pursuers including the military, but it's not easy for a talking green tennis ball to hide. Dave realizes that Phane has much to teach humanity, but can he find his alien friend in time to help him?
- Alien Panic: Phane, #2
2
Lou Buck, ex-cop, is the off-center main character (like Nick Carraway to Jay Gatsby). Lou searches for his kidnapped daughter, Lacey, and in Reno meets a muscular bald man, Phane, who claims to be extraterrestrial. Lou thinks he's a nut until the man transforms into a large green tennis ball with arms, legs, and eyestalks. Phane was abandoned by his commander to die on Earth, but he and Lou team up and rescue Lou's daughter from an alien encampment in the desert. Another alien, Flooma, escapes the compound with them. Despite inter-species weirdness, Lou and Lacey become friends with Phane and Flooma. Trust develops among the friends, but how far would you go to help a dying alien species when their commander wants to take over the planet?
