Word of advice: don’t go touching weird alien crystals without first considering the consequences, even if they did fall out of the sky and crush your house.  Hi there, Jack Cobb here, and see this scar on the palm of my hand? Looks like a pair of lips, right? Yeah, that’s no ordinary scar. At one point, it was home to a chatty little logophile I sometimes wish I could strangle. Together, we had a mission to save the world—well, at least the people in it—and find the pieces to build a machine to save ourselves before the world kicked us to the curb.  This is an end-of-the-world, come-to-Jesus, first-contact sci-fi romp. Think Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy meets Aliens with a little E.T. and Left Behind. Mix in some black budget conspiracy, a little escapism, one good bloody romance scene, and a dash of 80’s pop culture, and … I’ve completely lost you, haven’t I? Listen, just get to the part where Xeno and I meet for the first time, at least. Okay? It’s pretty much downhill from there anyway. Thanks for reading.
