Synopsis

THOSE WHO WATCH is the strange, seductive novel of three inadvertent colonists from outer space whose accidental encounter with Earth triggers interplanetary conflict. It also the most unusual love story ever written. VORNEEN—the seducer, in the shell of an Apollo who came out of nowhere into the life of Kathryn Mason GLAIR—the perfect woman, an empty form who filled the hours of Tom Faulkner MIRTIN—otherworldly friend and mentor to an 11-year-old Indian boy who accepted the extraordinary on faith ONLY THREE HUMANS WOULD EVER KNOW that the blinding flash in the sky on that night in 1982 was an exploding flying saucer. Only they would learn the truth about THOSE WHO WATCH—about the alien beings who came to this world in a crash landing from the stars.
