Gillian's Eye Douglas Todd

When the aliens began attacking every night, the Council reunited nations and became the defender of humanity. But there are some who say the Council is just as much of a problem as the aliens. For example, a young woman who's learned the hard way that anyone who gets in the way of the Council disappears forever. Or a girl who's fleeing an accident she'd be blamed for, who makes a discovery the Council would kill her for. Then there's Gillian Roth--feared by everyone who knows she exists. Gillian has a lot of secrets. Secrets about the Council, secrets about herself, secrets about her family. Sometimes it's nearly impossible to keep all of these secrets at the same time. When some of the secrets end up endangering the people she loves, she and her family have to run for their lives. In the process, they become entangled in the biggest secret in the world, a secret that changes everything. Gillian isn't going to be happy when she finds out what it is. GILLIAN'S EYE is a semi-dystopian novel set in an alternate present where things have gone even less well than they have here. It contains lesbians, psi abilities, politics, mad science, angry activism, unpleasant deaths, love, motherhood, televangelists, and nine-foot-tall insectoid aliens. And secrets.
