Books by Seth Dickinson
Seth Dickinson is the author of Exordia and The Masquerade series, beginning with The Traitor Baru Cormorant. He worked with Bungie Studios on much of the lore and backstory for Destiny.

She is very unhappy, and one day she meets an alien in Central Park. She’s the only one who can see it, and because of the particular way she is screwed up, she doesn’t conclude that she’s hallucinating, but rather that this alien is real and has a special connection to her.” Read more...
