Love is easy to find. Keeping it is more of a challenge.

First contact is always dangerous, but this time there’s more at stake than saving the Mandrake from an alien threat. This time, the crystalline metalloid ship Ely and the rest of his away team encountered in an earlier mission is on the move toward its nest to call for reinforcements. Reinforcements which will come to destroy humanity.

Once again, Ely, Emerson, Braden and Kale are called to duty.

Yet, as they enter the ship for the second time, something isn’t right. Something dark and disturbing lurks within the crystalline walls and it doesn’t have the away team’s best interests at heart.

Can Ely, his boyfriend Emerson, and their friends escape the entity, or will all hope rest on the shoulders of another strange alien race they must convince to help them? First contact has been made. The trouble is, what happens next?
