Daisy — Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Stuck in traffic during the worst storm of the decade, he was only looking to reach his destination in one piece. But now, a surprise guest has shown up in the passenger seat of his broken-down old Mini -- and he can tell this night is about to get much more interesting than he ever expected.

She goes by Daisy Reid -- or 7982. She is mud-soaked, beaten, and bruised beyond recognition. And, according to her, she is from the future, where the remaining humans have been enslaved by a green-skinned alien race.

It seems like the plot of an outlandish movie or sci-fi video game. But somehow, as Daisy recounts her tale with conviction, it's difficult not to believe her. And if what she is saying is true, humanity has a lot of work to do -- if it hopes to ever prevent mankind from reaching such a terrifying fate.

Daisy is the story of a chance encounter bringing two strangers together, bearing warnings of a postapocalyptic future in the making -- and the importance of standing together to solve problems as a united planet.
