Original. Leseprobe As any person who's ever had to hide a huge secret about themselves knows, being outed before you're ready is one of the things you fear the most. Whether your secret is that you're gay, in a country illegally, the wrong religion at the wrong time and in the wrong place, a space alien living on Earth, or that you hate popular shows, have been bitten by a radioactive spider, or have mutated due to giving birth to a half-alien baby whose father was supercharged by an evil bad guy drug, being outed can mean terrible things.

And in our history, there's been nothing like the huge, interstellar invasion we had, complete with Flying Space Dinosaurs and their really bad attitudes. At least, nothing anyone living in modern times can remember or compare to. The term nowhere to hide pretty much summed up the so-called fun. As did the terms we're so screwed and, happily enough, take me to your leaders. It looked like evacuation time for My Favorite Centaurions, if they got that lucky. But sometimes people surprise you.
