Chapter Thirty-Four
“Good evening, folks. Our show tonight marks the seven-week anniversary of K-Day, and amazingly enough, we haven’t been vaporized yet,” the late-night TV talk show host said as Emily stared listlessly at the screen. “For those of you who have been living under a rock, seven weeks ago today, the Krinar—or the Ks, as they’re colloquially known—arrived and turned our world upside down. To celebrate that momentous occasion, today we have a special guest, Dr. Edmonds, who’s here to tell us the latest theories on the visitors’ biology.”
“Thank you, James,” the guest said, sitting up straighter as the camera swung toward him. “Glad to be here, and glad to see so many of you stayed in the city and came out to the studio today. You’re all very brave—or very stupid.”
