Book excerpt: Award-nominated author Tony Ruggerio joins Dragon Moon Press with Alien Deception. Classic Space Opera with a Stanley Kubrick twist ... Nothing is as it appears. Nothing. Your whole life you think you understand who and what you are, and then one day you learn that it is all a lie. So what do you do? You have lunch with the leading candidate for President of the United States. You ... and your alien friends. The United Council for Developing Worlds, an alien conglomeration of civilized planets, wants to help the Earth move forward into space-or at least that is what the plan appears to be. Caught in the middle of the struggle for Earth domination, two humans unknowingly hold the key which can topple the tyrannical rule of the alien race-if they can stay alive long enough to use it. -- from publishers website.
