Reviewer: The author, Jonathan Woodward

Fun to write, and (I hope) fun to play.
While I received credit for half this book, I couldn't begin these comments without thanking my co-author, Michael Lee, our developer, Andrew Bates, and the scads of other people who made it as good as it is. Working with them was a privilege. I wrote the first half of this roleplaying adventure; the half titled "Colors of Sacrifice". It was enormously fun to write. Michael and I got to flesh out the details of an enigmatic alien species, working from the good but thin foundation laid by previous contributors to the Trinity Universe. Creating the character of Vermilion, the captive alien, was just as intriguing, and I hope he'll stick in your head after the adventure is over. He's a permanent part of mine. This book is the first in the two-part Alien Encounter series. The second book, Alien Encounter: Deception, will be out as of July '99, and was created by the same team. If you enjoy Alien Encounter: Invasion, I hope you'll keep an eye open for Deception.
