Description

Continue the journey with Book 2 of the blockbuster Alien Invasion series, the breakout sci-fi series with over 1000 5-star reviews.

FIND THE MISSING. FEAR THE FOUND...

Three months have passed since the space fleet's arrival, but very little has changed in the skies above planet Earth. Motherships still hover without word, impervious to attack and communication. Spherical shuttles still ferry about, their intentions unclear. But the abductions of select humans have ended, and most of those taken have been returned -- dazed, incoherent, and prophesying glory or doom -- but back home where they belong.

All but nine. Worldwide, only nine seemingly unconnected people remain missing.

Trapped in their besieged bunker outside Vail, Piper, Trevor, Lila, and Heather wait for one of them.

All of this has happened before…

For his entire life, Benjamin Bannister has sought the connections that unite the planet's wonders: Egypt's pyramids and Stonehenge, the Band of Holes in Peru and the Cambay Ruins. For years he's pursued evidence that extraterrestrial life is not new to Earth but has left its footprints in the archeological records over and over again. For years, he was dismissed as a fool. But now the spheres have arrived, and Benjamin has found his vindication … along with troubling theories as to what it all means.

Benjamin's research facility rests on a paranormal hotspot in Moab, Utah -- but Vail, Colorado, is where his interests lie. He's sent an emissary to Meyer Dempsey's ranch to find the answer to a question: What makes the Missing Nine so special to the planet's silent invaders? What news will those Nine bring when they return? And what, as the motherships again begin to move like pieces finding positions on a chessboard, will happen next?

…and it will all happen again.

Vail and Moab, Moab and Vail -- two epicenters in the cold alien war. The locations' fates (and the fates of those bunkered at each) seem somehow intertwined as Earth's clock ticks toward midnight. The roads and communications have been closed, but now it seems that the planet's future might depend on a journey from one to the other at all costs. Humanity must find the value of those who have been taken … or become mere fossil evidence for the archaeologists of the future to puzzle over.

★★★★★ "I am addicted to the characters and plot of this sci-fi series! I just can't seem to put my book down always looking for "what's next"." -- BoxerMom

★★★★★ "This has got to be made into a movie! I can already see in my mind who would play the characters. Movie, Movie, Movie this would be a box office smash hit for sure!" -- Randbubba

★★★★★ "This series has absolutely been one of my favorites... I truly love the pull of our past into our current/future in this story." -- jesdenm

★★★★★ "I could barely contain myself as I waited impatiently for 'Contact' to hit stands. It's here! WOOT! Anyway, totally worth the wait. 'Contact' begins with a "BANG!" and immediately starts into the mind-bending twists and turns I love so much from Realm & Sands. I LOVED IT!" -- Adam Bailey

★★★★★ "Holy Cr*p I was riveted until the last page... How these guys manage to take an idea as old as sci-fi itself and make it fresh, compelling, and something you can't put down is beyond me. All I know is they do it every time in every series for me." -- JoniJ

This relentless, page-turning tale of first contact is the second book in the completed Alien Invasion series.

    This second book lets you get to know the characters, giving hints of what is to come. Each person plays a vital part in the plot and it kept me turning pages and not wanting to miss anything. Can't wait to start the next book in this series. Fantastic imagination from the authors.

    This is the continuation of the alien invasion and it does not disappoint!!!! The cool thing about this is that the aliens are ever present but don't "take over" the story. The humans are the center of the story and their interactions create just the right amount of tension and suspense.

  • Great, Easy Read

    I highly recommend these books. I've Read the first two so far and about to purchase the next one. They are well written and easy to read. The development of the characters draw you in and I've found myself rooting for my favorites. Even though science fiction about aliens has been written by thousands of authors, these books have enough twists and depth to keep it interesting. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. PS - even though they offer them for free, I'm happy to pay the nominal charge instead to support good, new authors struggling to get their work published!!

    This is the second book in the series. The first book, in case you missed it, was titled, “Abduction”. You’ll need to read that one to figure out what in whole is going on in this one. Last time we read, our hero had just mysteriously walked out of his underground bunker that he spent many weeks trying to reach from New York City. His bunker in somewhere in the vicinity of Vail, Colorado. Meyer Dempsey was a self-made billionaire so he could build just about anything he wanted, anywhere he wanted it. For reasons only known to him, he chose this land in Colorado. It was to be a family get-away, but then Meyer started “knowing something was about to happen”. Then the alien ships showed up coming from Jupiter. The telescopes on the back side of the moon capture six objects that clearly had to be made by someone heading for Earth. So, what did everyone on Earth do? They went crazy of course! People started thinking they had to get out of the big cities or go somewhere other than where they were. They had definitely seen too many sic-fi shows on TV. It pretty much turned into chaos right after the videos of the alien ships were shown on national TV. Meyer Dempsey, even with his billions, rounded up his family and headed for Colorado. How they got there and their adventure on the way is the content of the first book. This book is about what happens after Meyer was “taken” by an alien ship. No, it’s not about his contact with the aliens so I don’t know why the title say “Contact”. The Dempsey Family, minus Meyer plus his ex-wife Heather, are in the underground bunker for the duration of the alien visitation or for however long it takes. They may be in the bunker for a long, long time. On top of the bunker has grown a hippy community which have gathered here because it was the place that Meyer Dempsey was taken. There are always going to be people who want to be “taken” so they figure this is the place to be and we’ll just wait. They are squatting on the land and unfinished house. But, there are others who know of the secure door to something in the pantry of the house. They’re not sure what is on the other side of the door, but they have a suspicion that’s strong enough to make them want to break in. So, these five or six guys, all definitely the type you want to invite into your house, are making an effort to break into the underground bunker. Now that Meyer has left, none of the occupants know anything about how the bunker is supposed to operate. For doomsday prepers, they sure did a bad job. Do the bad guys get into the bunker? I don’t know, you have to read the book. What about the aliens? There are stories about some of the “taken” being returned. Will Meyer Dempsey ever return? The story continues to be exciting and somewhat unpredictable. Being enclosed in an underground bunker for a long period of time might not be pleasant for even the sanest people and I don’t think all of the Dempsey family is sane to start with. This covers a lot of the emotional turmoil going on with each of the characters in the bunker plus some others. We get some insight into what is happening but not much. This book makes for a good reason to have to read the next book. I enjoyed it and think you will too.
