Brother Termite

HE IS THE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF

He is a major figure in national and international affairs. He plays high-stakes political power games with the FBI and the CIA. He is responsible for many lives—and many deaths.

The President of the United States trusts his friendship and advice above all others. He is everything to those who surround him—player and pawn, friend and enemy, husband and father.

He’s also an alien being from a far world, from another existence, and he has set his own agenda for the future of OUR world.

He is an alien ... and yet,

he is only too human.

 “Superior science fiction—a wild, weird story in its own right that is also entertaining, gripping ... and very thought-provoking. Moves with the sureness of a ride in a luxury automobile. Anthony doesn’t spoon-feed the reader—she takes charge ... inventive, smart, and funny ...
