This first book of a series, in an author new to me, was a pleasant surprise of excellence.
Michael is an ambassador from an alien organization come to Earth to help uplift humanity, improve lives, and protect from an ancient Enemy whose sites have been set upon us. The compassion used to deal with the political upheaval of his announcement, and skepticism received at his claims makes him one of the best characters I've read. The supporting cast of characters, both aligned and not, are also excellently written, interesting, and great to read about. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
