The story of Johnny and Braemar told in White Queen, the story of a love affair between an alien and a human that almost destroyed the world, is a romantic legend in the world of the future.

At the center of the search is the alien Bella, who may be Johnny’s daughter, and her human protector, Sidney Carton. Together they travel through the war-torn ruins of future Europe, searching for the key to the last great scientific discovery of humanity, watched and pursued by others, alien and human. And they must risk love, as well as death, to succeed.

A tough, intense, funny, and horrifying look at an alien invasion of Earth about fifty years from now, White Queen begins deceptively quietly, in a bar in a crumbling African nation where Johnny Guglioli, an American journalist in exile, is trying to exorcise his demons and regain access to the international news network. He may just have a way: the girl who has been following him around isn’t a human being—she’s an alien come to Earth with others of her kind to settle. And she is willing to be interviewed. But who will believe it? And another reporter, Braemar Wilson, is also on the trail, and insinuates herself into partnership with Johnny. Suddenly all three are swept up into a worldwide whirlwind of events, a complex and deadly storm of sex, politics, and betrayal. A confusion of motives and a conflagration of feelings drives the narrative forward to its stunning conclusion.
