OF JENNY AND THE ALIENS by Ryan Gebhart

Of Jenny and the Aliens
Derek will be eighteen in a few weeks. Several things are happening that could not only change Derek's life but potentially the entire world.

The president is on the verge of declaring war on a Middle East country. The move is controversial and could put the lives of 200,000 troops at risk.

Ten years earlier Earth sent a message to the distant planet of Pud 5. Studies and exploration showed that the planet might support life. Well, Pud 5 has responded not only with recordings, but according to Derek, by sending an alien to Blue Grass Island off the shore of the Maumee River.

Another thing affecting Derek's life is the possibility that his long-time crush, a girl named Jenny, may actually be interested in pursuing a relationship. Derek is thrilled at Jenny's attention. After she claims his virginity and continues to want to hang around with him, he's pretty sure he is in love.

Readers will soon learn that not everything is as it seems. Are aliens really interested in our planet? Will calm heads reign in a possible war in the Middle East? Is Jenny as faithful to Derek as he hoped?

Ryan Gebhart, also the author of THERE WILL BE BEARS, combines sci-fi adventure with romance in this unique tale. This reviewer found OF JENNY AND THE ALIENS especially entertaining since the setting of Maumee, Ohio, is familiar territory. Mentions of many well-known locations and landmarks made for fun references throughout.
