*This edition of the bestselling novel FLUENCY (Confluence Book 1) is suitable for Young Adult readers or those who are sensitive to adult language or sexual themes. In movie parlance, it's a PG-rated version.* NASA discovered the alien ship lurking in the asteroid belt in the 1960s. They kept the Target under intense surveillance for decades, letting the public believe they were exploring the solar system, while they worked feverishly to refine the technology needed to reach it. The ship itself remained silent, drifting. Dr. Jane Holloway is content documenting nearly-extinct languages and had never contemplated becoming an astronaut. But when NASA recruits her to join a team of military scientists for an expedition to the Target, it’s an adventure she can’t refuse.
