About the Book

A Sci-Fi Satire of Alien Espionage, Southern Charm & Chaos on Earth!

First-time novelist Paul McGrath delivers a sharp, witty, and wildly entertaining sci-fi satire that asks: What if an alien held up a mirror to America—and we didn’t like what we saw?

Anton-7—aka Roy McDonald—was supposed to observe Earth, not get stuck on it. But after missing his ride back to planet Xylodon, he decides to make the most of his exile in Hernando, Mississippi. Breaking the number-one rule of alien espionage—never interfere—he dives headfirst into human affairs, finding friendship, romance, and the simple joys of a good cup of coffee and a highly anticipated trip to Buc-ee's. But when tragedy strikes, Anton-7 takes matters into his own hands, setting off a whirlwind of chaos that shakes both Earth and Xylodon.

About the Author :
Paul McGrath is an award-winning journalist and educator whose career spans five decades. He spent thirty-seven years working at the Houston Chronicle after stints in Conroe, Lubbock, and Lockhart, Texas.

McGrath graduated from Texas A&M University and earned a master’s degree from Marist College. He and his wife, Liz, live on a tranquil fish-filled lake near Houston, Texas. He continues to teach at Texas A&M.

Review :
“Paul McGrath’s debut novel is as much social satire as science fiction, critiquing our hypocrisies and idiosyncrasies through the observations of the ultimate outsider—a space alien living undercover in rural Mississippi. Fortunately for humankind, this spaceman loves roadhouse coffee and takeout pizza as much as any red-blooded American. Left is a big-hearted caper that suggests good intentions are truly universal.” —Ronnie Crocker, journalist and author of Houston Beer: A Heady History of Brewing in the Bayou City.

“Roy McDonald, aka Anton-7, has missed his flight back to his native planet, Xylodon, and, stuck in Mississippi (Oh, God!), decides to make the most of his exile. Along the way, he meets the super-colorful old man Ezra, who’s chockful of inappropriate language, the sexy elementary school teacher Ellie, who’s got opinions and sex drive in equal measures, and the psycho-sick Terry Clyde, who wants to create a bloodbath at the school. In his first novel, "Left," a very sly former newsman Paul McGrath takes us on a rip-roaring, smart-assed sci-fi journey that delights, surprises and satisfies. —Fernando Dovalina, retired editor; playwright, The Gospel According to Tammy Faye and The Sanctity of Our Homes
