| 520 | |a When Francie arrives in Roswell, New Mexico, for her college roommate's UFO-themed wedding-complete with a true-believer groom-she can't help but roll her eyes at all the talk of aliens, which patently don't exist. Imagine her surprise, then, when she gets abducted by one. Her abductor is not your typical alien-not gray, or a reptilian, or anything else the popular media might have led her to expect. Instead, the creature is more like an animate tumbleweed-a mass of lightning-fast tentacles and unexpected charm, given that it has no apparent ability to communicate beyond pointing. Worse, the alien's second abductee-an endearing con man named Wade-only compounds the problem, for Francie was supposed to spend the weekend talking her roommate out of the wedding, not falling in love herself. How can a guy who sells anti-abduction insurance for a living still manage to be the most sensible, decent man she has ever met? The more Francie gets to know her abductor, however, the more certain she becomes that the alien is in trouble and needs her help-though she has no idea what the problem is, or how to solve it. Especially as the alien's abduction spree seems far from over. But with Wade's assistance, Francie is determined to get their new friend to its destination-wherever that might be. Because who knows what could be at risk should they fail? | ||
