Synopsis

ALIENS VENMOED ME A TRILLION DOLLARS"The truth is out there... and paying very well."Doug Dawkins lives to debunk conspiracy theories, especially crackpot claims of aliens. So when his dead dad FaceTimes him (giving him crazy money and orders to cover up the truth of extraterrestrial existence), Doug is sure this is a hacker's scam and reports it to the NSA. Then government security servers melt down. NSA agents become convinced Doug and his wife are dangerous spies. But Doug is sure he'd never kill anyone or believe aliens exist. Could he be half right?One problem is that an astronomer just discovered the background static of the universe is actually unfathomably complex, interstellar communications, definitive proof of alien life, and that professor is... Doug's wife, Lena Fierro. Why would he want to turn down a trillion-dollar cosmic bribe, yet still conceal the truth from the world?

Goodreads review by Jim on August 10, 2025

Aliens among us. How do I get paid? This is a pretty quick entertaining read as aliens have determined that we are just not ready to know the truth and they are quite willing to pay big money in order to keep their presence secret. Now I just need to know how I get on their payroll.......more

Goodreads review by Jules on August 11, 2025

A fast, funny read in which aliens decide humanity isn’t ready for the truth—and are more than happy to shell out serious cash to keep their existence under wraps. Now if only I could figure out how to land a spot on their payroll.......more

Goodreads review by Simon on September 01, 2025

Wild, Weird, and So Much Fun A darkly funny thrill ride packed with aliens, espionage, and unexpected family dynamics. Doug is a mess—but one you’ll root for. The writing is sharp, the pace relentless, and the absurdity somehow makes perfect sense. I wanted more!......more

Goodreads review by Maxwell on September 01, 2025

This story is part sci-fi chaos, part razor-sharp satire. Doug's awkward murder in the snow kicks off a spiraling plot involving aliens, government agents, and a trillion-dollar Venmo alert from his momma. Hilarious, smart, and surprisingly heartfelt. I couldn’t put it down.......more

Goodreads review by Declan on September 01, 2025

I wasn’t expecting to laugh this hard at a story about murder, aliens, and secret agents. The writing is sharp and ridiculous in the best way. Totally original and unforgettable.......more
