If you were eighteen hundred light years from Earth, how far would you go for that one chance to get home?
Military Sci-Fi Thriller meets Alien First Contact as Delta Squad use the power of ancient alien technology to find the way home in this all action, brilliantly paced and character driven sci-fi novel.
After the world-shattering events of Hostile Contact, Finn’s squad leave Earth and the Solar System behind, travelling 1800 light years in an instant, as the Haven space craft activates the Return Protocol.
The ship’s Artificial Intelligence, accepting them as crew, co-operates with Finn, Zuri, Smith and Noah as they as they encounter the remnants of the Haven race on an advanced Space Station and Havenhome, the aliens’ home planet.
Pitted against huge odds, Delta Squad need to rapidly gain the knowledge and skills required to use their alien technology as they desperately fight for survival on the hostile, high gravity world, where everything wants to eat you or kill you, not caring which comes first.
In the midst of battle, revelations arise about the ancient aliens’ plans for humanity and, with the horrifying realisation about how the Haven fell from their technologically advanced pinnacle, Finn and his team question their place amongst the stars.
With Finn continuing to combat both inner and outer demons, Zuri, the strong-willed gunner, and Smith, his deceased but digitally copied Corporal, rise to the challenge as Delta take on the might of the Haven Masters, who crave their old but powerful technology.
And, in a last-ditch attempt to recover the lost pathway home, the squad embark on a harrowing mission where they face a devastating decision that will change their lives forever.
Come for the action, stay for the characters in this ‘fast-paced, character-driven novel that seamlessly blends military sci-fi and alien first contact.’
Aliens, they are more like us than you think.
