It's Christmas Eve and Marion Thomas Nelson's year is improving. The United States won an impromptu skirmish with an unexpected foe, and now he and his wife are on their way to pick up their kids from Grandma's house, where they've been safely stashed away. The future looks bright. But their celebration is cut short when the country is struck by a peculiar plague with extraterrestrial origins-a plague that is causing Americans to grow. Marion and his daughter are among the few unaffected. His wife and son are not. When people start outgrowing the world they built, an increasingly paranoid government banishes Marion and those like him to the country's old World War II-era internment camps. Imprisoned in a mysteriously rebuilt Manzanar, and surrounded by a hostile landscape in a dying world, Marion, his tiny daughter, and the other prisoners are expected to work for their keep and donate their bodies to science while the outside world hunts for a cure. Now forcibly separated from his family, Marion must plot a way home. But doing so will trigger a chain of horrifying discoveries and dark twists as he risks everything to get back to them.

You may think you've heard Marion Thomas Nelson's story before, but you've only heard one version. This is how it happens the second time. In this America, Marion's life is turning a dark corner. His wife is shrinking. His son, too. Only he and his second child, a girl with the same faulty gene as Marion, are exempt. This is not how it's supposed to be. This is not how he remembers it. Some things are the same. Manzanar's dusty gates open the way they did before for its new influx of internees. But there's a mysterious forest near the old war camp that doesn't belong. And soon there's a deadly game being played in its depths. A game where the ultimate prize is freedom. Which reality-if either-is true? And how can Marion break free and stitch his torn family back together? The answer lies with the aliens who came and went. The aliens who never fully left.

Taking as its focus memorials of the World War I in Britain, this book studies public symbols by exploring how different motives for commemorating the dead were reconciled through the processes of local politics to create a widely valued form of collective expression.
