A science fiction novel by Jim Cleaveland, creator of the webcomic The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!Some centuries in the future, Earth has entered into an alliance with a race of silicon-based nonhumanoid aliens called the Jan, and permitted them to establish a colony on Jupiter's moon Callisto in exchange for helping humanity establish itself in the wider interstellar community.And although they are perfectly aware of all this, it has had little effect on the everyday lives of the technology-shunning Mennonites of central Pennsylvania, who continue to live much as they have since the seventeenth century.Thirty-years-old Indira Fenstermacher left her Mennonite community ten years ago, learned the ways of the outside world, got a job on a space station... but has now returned in the wake of a personal tragedy."Paul Dwightson," (his real name unpronounceable) is a Jan who has made the bizarre choice to live on Earth among humans (bizarre because, although the two races are on friendly terms, Jan physiology can barely tolerate Earth's environmental conditions) and learn as much about us as possible. When pressed, he claims his actions are part of a religious vow, the nature of which he is reluctant to discuss. After a chance encounter with Indira, he chooses to live, of all places, among the Mennonites. The friendship he forms with Indira, and the difficulties that come with it, form the backbone of the story. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Alien in a Small Town / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: The Jan's biochemistry incorporates both carbon and silicon. They're radially symmetrical burrowers who prefer to live in conditions too cold for humans to survive; Earth's temperate regions are uncomfortable, and our tropical regions would destroy them at a biochemical level. Water is poisonous to them if taken internally. They're very strong but very slow. They store oxygen in their bodies as a liquid, meaning that their insides are flammable. They have three sexes: the male Workers, who make up the majority of the population; the female Matriarchs, who grow into essentially sessile living mountains and are the leaders of their society, and whose bodies typically contain tunneled passages which are inhabited by other Jan; and the sterile Warriors, who have six arms ending in vicious hooks, huge fanged mouths, and are much much faster and stronger than their Worker counterparts. | |

Faster-Than-Light Travel | |
| Alien in a Small Town / int_2af7961 | comment |
Faster-Than-Light Travel: Averted. Travel between stars takes many years, though the existence of relativistic-speed spacecraft mean humans can certainly do it, provided they understand they can't come home again (or rather, because of time dilation, they would return to a world where many more years had passed than they themselves had experienced). The Jan, meanwhile, are ideally suited for interstellar travel because their bodies can withstand the forces of acceleration and deceleration. | |

No Transhumanism Allowed | |
| Alien in a Small Town / int_4612ec70 | comment |
No Transhumanism Allowed: It's coming back into fashion after everyone scorned it following "the Genomic War". Still, the war spawned at least two genetically engineered subraces of humanity: the tough but very perceptive Tesks, and the briefly-mentioned long-lived race called Elves. Also, even if it wasn't done recently, almost everyone on Earth has a few genetically engineered ancestors. The Jan reject heavy body modification while the Arachne embrace it. | |

Bizarre Alien Senses: Apart from 360 degree vision and the ability to see colors we can't, the Jan also have a sonar sense, which forms the basis of their language. Apart from giving them a form of X-Ray Vision (they consider humans to be nice sturdy skeletons wrapped in slimy goo), this also means with practice a Jan can become a Living Lie Detector, because he can hear your heartbeat. The Tesks, meanwhile, are effectively empaths because of their heightened sense of smell and awareness of body language. | |

Cannot Tell a Lie | |
| Alien in a Small Town / int_7c7ee100 | comment |
Cannot Tell a Lie: The Jan's most obvious hat. Being descended from hive-dwelling prey animals, cooperation was essential to their ancestors. They're terrible at lying and find the idea abhorrent. On one hand, they know that nobody else has a problem lying to them (fortunately, their sonar hearing lets them monitor a human's heartbeat, so with practice they can become living lie detectors). On the other, their reputation for trustworthiness has earned them a network of powerful allies, which they consider their greatest strength. All that being said, though — they're perfectly willing to keep secrets, as long as they don't have to lie outright to maintain them. | |
