PETERBOROUGH – As many Americans today are armed, what would happen if a person actually took a shot at an alien and drew blood? Who in Washington would take that call? What would an agency that deals with this issue look like? How would it have to function in the context of the hurly-burly of American politics? This curious trail of thinking led Peterborough resident Greg McManus to write his first book, “The Bug Light Room.”

“The Bug Light Room” is a science fiction novel that speculates about alien presence on Earth and how the government might respond.

The book is available locally at Toadstool Book Shop.
