Cults, Coffee and Close Encounters: A dystopian fiction dark comedy

When a spaceship lands in the Australian Outback, the world descends into panic. Janice Rahi, however, is preoccupied with a career-threatening email in her inbox. Her search for coffee becomes complicated when she's drawn into a chaotic conflict involving kidnappings and those hoarding supplies. To rescue her friend, Janice must confront something more difficult than aliens: accepting her own existence. Meanwhile, Logan Fury, a guilt-ridden man, finds himself on an unexpected journey alongside an unlikely group: a couple of older adults, a veterinarian, and someone seeking an orthodontist in the ruins of civilization. Across a transformed landscape featuring border guards, disgraced executives forced into menial labor, and various threats, Logan must move past his regrets to lead an escape during a post-apocalyptic football match. The novel features meth-addicted attack animals, power-hungry individuals, and explores what happens when society collapses. It examines human nature through dark comedy, suggesting that in an apocalypse, ordinary people pose greater dangers than extraterrestrial visitors.
