These stories come from a remarkable blue-white planet located on the spiral arm of an unremarkable galaxy, one of billions in the universe. The alien invasion was impossible because they didn't have superior weapons, but a better idea. The government gave aliens nuclear weapons in exchange for advanced technology, and they also brought a deadly virus to Earth. His partner was almost killed investigating a human smuggling operation, so now he had to work with an ex-military robot.
A meteor is about to hit Earth; it's a good thing he has an AI helper to help him survive. A virus is about to be released in America that turns anyone who is exposed to it into a killer. Two staff members from SETI will brief the president on past and current UAP sightings, but the president will call them a terrorist organization. All the vehicles in New York City are operated by an AI system, which eliminates gridlock and accidents until they are held hostage.
