SECOND CONTACT

Book ID/图书代码： 13005510B42030

English Summary/英文概要： It looked like a no-brainer to defense attorney Major Maxwell Becker. A starship captain has gone a little crazy and killed two of his crewmen in cold blood. Just plead insanity, make sure they give his client a nice, comfortable, padded cell, and go skiing at Aspen.

But the captain refuses to cop an insanity plea. He insists that the two crew members he killed were not humans, but aliens. That’s his story, and he’s sticking by it. So Becker reluctantly goes through the motions of trying to prove his case—

—and suddenly his witnesses start getting transferred or disappearing, and when he finally finds one he realizes there are holes in his story… and suddenly Becker is running for his life, hunted by every branch of the military. He can’t figure it out: he’s a loyal officer, he’s just doing his job as a military attorney, he’s never broken a law, there are no aliens: so why does everybody want him dead?

Join Hugo- and Nebula-winning author Mike Resnick as he chronicles Becker’s desperate attempt to learn the only thing that can save him: the truth.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个蠢蛋要挑战大律师Maxwell Becker。一艘船上的船长冷血地杀死了他的两名船员。律师的辩护是船长只是要确定他的船员为乘客提供了舒适的环境并带他们去阿斯彭滑雪。

但是船长本人拒绝了这个一时冲动的借口，他坚持这两个被他杀掉的船员不是人类，而是外星人。那是他的一面之词，但他自己深信不疑。就在Becker律师想要帮他打这场官司时发现自己的证人一个个离奇消失，他这才发现这个故事中存在漏洞。Becker开始逃命，他被军队追杀。他搞不懂，自己明明是在军事法庭上的辩护律师，从未违反法律，又不存在什么外星人，为什么人人都想他死？

尽情欣赏雨果奖和星云奖的获得者，作家Mike Resnick的故事，唯一能拯救Becker的就是：真相。(兼职翻译-LN)
