What if your dog suddenly started talking-and told you someone was waiting for you?For Frank, a rainy morning in the German countryside turns into the beginning of something impossible. Dogs begin to speak, children are drawn to a secret meeting, and before he can make sense of any of it, Frank is transported aboard a massive alien ship.There he encounters beings made of living light-creatures who shift colors, read his thoughts, and have been observing humanity for thousands of years. What starts as an extraordinary conversation quickly becomes something far more serious: a judgment of the human race itself.The aliens have reached a crossroads: Should humanity continue to exist...or has it become a threat to the balance of the universe?With an 86-year-old woman full of courage, two sharp-tongued dogs, and an alien diplomat who is both brilliant and hopelessly literal, Frank must prove that humans are more than war, greed, and self-destruction.A mission no one asked for-one that will change everything.A humorous, heartfelt, and thought-provoking novel about: - the beauty and flaws of humankind- compassion and moral responsibility- our duty to protect children, animals, and our planet- the unexpected friendships that form across worldsA story filled with laughter, wonder, insight-and an ending that stays with you long after you close the book.Perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Humans, and uplifting, character-driven sci-fi with heart.
