Grey Area: This Island Earth

ILLEGAL ALIENS!

NORTH AMERICA, 2045. The Global Exo Segregation Zone (aka the ‘Grey Area’) is a huge holding area in Arizona housing all manner of aliens hoping to visit earth: a melting pot for alien disputes, crime and inter-species misunderstandings! The only thing standing in the way of chaos is the Exo Transfer Control squads: heavily-armed immigration cops that keep the peace and make sure everyone has their papers in order…

From contemptuous extra-terrestrial ambassadors with diplomatic immunity, to xenophobic extremists and alien freeloaders disguised as luggage, new recruit Jana Birdy discovers that life in the E.T.C. might be the most interesting job on Earth… and the most dangerous!
