New Releases by Michael John Cruit

An alien "Observer" arrives on Earth to rescue a good friend and fellow alien held by the U.S. government. Although the Observer speaks English, his only knowledge of US culture comes from studying TV programs. Also, alien technology and human technology are not entirely compatible, which leaves him vulnerable to discovery. He solicits the help of the only human he can trust, and together they run the gamut of human surveillance technology, running toward the most secure facility in the U.S. Meanwhile, the Observer''s studies of Earth''s ecosystem reveal coming catastrophe.

Who is Fari Madrigal? Only the first female player in the history of the major leagues. Fari is a mystical girl from the Dominican Republic whose beauty is exceeded only by the hop on her fastball. Within days of her discovery, Fari rises to the top of the baseball world and all of America. But she soon learns that the price she will have to pay for success and fame may be very dear: The very soul that drives her to seek perfection on the mound, and maybe even her life.
