Imminent by Michael Kirchhoff Pdf
The aliens have arrived, and they've already been taken to our leaders. The spiritual, pacifist alien race called the Imminent and the reptilian, warlike Zeastians seek to do battle with each other on Earth. To save their home planet from the destruction associated with war, they've cut a deal with the United States government to wage their confrontation in the Alaskan wilderness. But these aliens have brought two battles to Earth-one of flesh and one of words-and their true intentions are shrouded in secrecy. The Imminent and the Zeastians hope to fight without interference, but their fate is unwittingly altered by three humans: Benjamin, a lonely soul who is waiting for life to either get interesting or just end; Armin, a hippie ex-priest whose exotic new girlfriend is significantly scalier than he's used to; and Sheila, a grieving grandmother whose efforts to understand the circumstances of her granddaughter's bizarre death could uncover the machinations of an otherworldly political conspiracy. This inevitable clash of cultures could result in nothing less than the redefinition of existence itself. Hilarious and horrifying, "Imminent" is a story of murder, philosophy, friendship, and strange dietary preferences.
