zlib_text: **ALIEN NATION™** was a ground-breaking and thought-provoking televison
  program that was part science fiction and part hard-hitting police
  drama—taking on tough social issues. Despite raves from critics as well as a
  loyal following, **ALIEN NATION** was canceled, but not before additional
  scripts were created. Now, Pocket Books is proud to present the novelization
  of one of these never-before-seen scripts.
  
  Matthew Sikes and his Tenctonese partner George Francisco try to unearth the
  truth behind the hysteria generated by the reports of the birth of the first
  half-human, half-Tenctonese child. Meanwhile, Sikes and his Tencotnese friend
  Cathy find their relationship heating up and realize they can no longer deny
  their feelings. They quickly learn just how dangerous human-Tenctonese love
  can be, and how far it can go . . .

   **regarded her with those calm**  
   **eyes that seemed ancient**
