Overview

Her drawings of an alien spacecraft have unwittingly laid bare the greatest government cover-up of all time. She's experimental, transgressive, and vulnerable. Madison never turns away from love, takes risks she shouldn't, and hears a Voice that comes out of nowhere. She would kill to protect the woman she loves and the man who loves her. Her child is everything. No one will take her away without a fight. She cries, she breaks down, she's angry, she's an artistic genius. Madison Ayana is dragged into a cosmic mystery that will change the future of humanity. Revealing her source will shatter her life. Even under interrogation, she will not talk about the Voice she hears. She would be labeled crazy. Fearful and untrusting, her only hope is the lead agent who risks her career and her heart to become an unlikely ally. Madison is the key to understanding why an alien race would traverse the Milky Way to visit humanity. When a hacker group floods the internet with her alien vessel sketches, the two become tangled in politics and public hysteria. An FBI investigation lands them on the most wanted list. Branded as spies from outer space by conspiracists, and pursued by authorities, their intimate bond shapes their future as they struggle to survive the lies that spread across social media. Their only hope is to find the one scientist who believes her visions are real and will change the course of human history. What Madison sees is far greater than an alien spacecraft heading toward Earth. As the stakes escalate, she must confront her humanity, her ability to love, and her willingness to sacrifice. When the spherical object hedges closer to our planet, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Madison holds the brush that could write the Earth's future. These highly advanced space travelers have a very personal reason for coming.

Reviews

""I typically read 2 to 4 novels a week, mostly sci-fi with the occasional fantasy. With many of them, they are forgotten a day or two after completion... Simply put, this was one of the most engaging sci-fi novels I have read in a long time, and I heartily recommend it!"" Hidden Gems reviewer Rob H ""I liked how Kaufmann craftily blended and balanced the plot drive with thoroughly developed characters and events. The author excelled in crafting the psychological portraits of Madison, her friends, and her foes with depth, detail, and skill I have rarely come across in sci-fi novels."" Reviewed by Olga Markova for Readers' Favorite ""Radical Encounter narrates a pivotal moment for humanity, as the long-awaited contact with intelligent life outside Earth becomes a reality.
