A Different Kind of Enemy
Description
An anomaly in space has stopped in Earth's path in a way not accounted for by astronomical physics. Is it aliens? With only six days before inevitable contact, newly married teen spies Nicolas "Nico" Hall and Samuel "Sam" Solomon are enlisted to investigate--each young man sworn to secrecy even from the other.
Nico is in the field looking for answers and tracking a mysterious Person of Interest. Sam is working first contact scenarios on the thirteenth floor of a Manhattan building that doesn't officially have a thirteenth floor. And they're both wondering if the rules of love change if it's the end of the world.
As humanity slips into the grip of alien invasion panic, Nico and Sam realize they're going to have to work together to save the world--and their marriage.

Person
Lee Wind is not currently a spy. Mind you, he never was a spy. But he did spend fourteen years undercover (what most people call "in the closet"). So now he writes the books that would have changed his life as a Gay Jewish kid and teen. Lee is the award-winning author of nonfiction for ages eleven and up (No Way, They Were Gay? and The Gender Binary Is a Big Lie), picture books (including Like That Eleanor and Love of the Half-Eaten Peach), and YA novels (Queer as a Five-Dollar Bill and A Different Kind of Brave). To help go on the offense against book banning, Lee cocreated the national campaign We Are Stronger than Censorship, which buys and donates two books to offset every one book challenge. He also runs the popular blog I'm Here. I'm Queer. What the Hell Do I Read?--words his teenage self only dreamed of saying. Visit Lee online at leewind.org.
