Left Is Right
Description
What if the mission was never just about the planet?
In their latest adventure, Anton and Ellie—two former Centurion Guardians from the planet Xylodon—find themselves investigating the seamier side of America from nationalist militias in the woods of Idaho to human trafficking as they navigate the trauma of love, loss, and betrayal in both human and alien forms.
Left is Right is a genre-bending novel that fuses speculative fiction, political drama, dark humor, and human vulnerability into one unforgettable journey.
Whether it's Ellie—now a third-grade teacher in Mississippi struggling with Earth's cruelty—or Anton, entangled in overlapping identities and off-world consequences, the characters here are richly drawn and beautifully flawed.
Irreverent yet profound, the second installment in the Terran Incognita series asks: Can two aliens find meaning in a fractured planet? In a world where directions seem upside down—left becomes right, allies become enemies, and rebels become protectors—is there still room for hope? And can a Buc-ee's be seen from space?
A dazzling combination of satire, science fiction, and social commentary, Left is Right is for readers who love complex storytelling, unexpected twists, and questions that stay with them long after the last page.
