Back when finding new science fiction required putting in special orders at my local bookstore or library, I  learned to appreciate almost any variation of sci-fi novel I could find without staying within a narrow range of story lines. I enjoy several different types of science fiction: military, post-apocalypse, aliens, time travel and more. My only requirements are that it has well drawn characters and that it has a good plot - I feel cheated if the plot is either overly predictable or the ending is so poorly resolved that I'm left guessing at the ending.I will keep this vague to guard against spoilers...  I was pleasantly surprised by Alien Caller. I knew from the title that at least one alien would meet up with the main character but I never expected her to be quite what she was. Although the human and alien connection presented itself early on, there was still a possibility of a turn around in the relationship, and a potential for other characters not being what they seemed. Although the plot was not 'shocking' it did have enough of a storyline to keep me wondering how and when certain events would take place.  The descriptions and writing style were excellent - and I could picture the characters as they interacted so that, more than once, I thought the story would do well adapted to a movie or a TV series.If this book is typical of his writing, I will add Greg Curtis to my preferred authors.
