When a disabled spaceship enters Earth's atmosphere, seven members of the advanced Tosok race are welcomed by the world. Then a popular scientist is murdered, and all evidence points to one of the Tosoks. Now, an alien is tried in a court of law -and there may be far more at stake than accounting for one human life.

Narrators job did save the story, the story was slow at first, became really good in the middle but all threads got tangled in a mess at the end. It could have been a great story, but..

Trial stopping invasion.. Narrator did a good job
