An exhilarating sci fi thriller trilogy that will keep you guessing all the way to the end.

When expert linguist and cryptographer Charlie Cutter is recruited into a shadowy wing of the NCIS, she’s tasked with unravelling a mysterious ancient text that has puzzled researchers for decades.

After a strange pod crashes to earth during a violent storm, Charlie and her small team uncover an incredible truth: aliens have landed on earth – and not for the first time. Catapulted into a thrilling mystery that will carry them from the political swamps of D.C. to the scorching Las Vegas desert, Charlie must race against time to crack the code and save humanity from a possible alien invasion.

Surrounded by a web of secrets and lies, Charlie struggles to track down the origin of the pods – and unmask the hidden motives of their extra-terrestrial visitors. The mystery stretches back centuries… and it leads Charlie to a shocking revelation that will change everything.

Dive into a riveting technothriller trilogy that blends high-octane sci-fi with shadowy government organizations and desperate researchers fighting to unravel an extra-terrestrial mystery.

An alien disease. A cryptic bloodline. An ancient feud between worlds.

Well. It’s nothing a little swagger can’t handle.

Damian Riddle’s sick of bouncing around the known galaxy in search of a cure for the alien disease that’s been plaguing him for months. He hasn’t felt up to robbing a single pirate ship, or breaking into any cartel supply stashes. It’s inconvenient, at best.

Also, he’s got a feeling the illness just might be fatal.

The only solution? To start searching the unknown galaxy for a cure. And Damian knows how to do it.

But when a nosy reporter stows away in his smuggling compartment, throwing off his calculations, the ship slingshots them both to an unknown location–where political maneuvering is the status quo and sinister mysteries cast shadows over the crystalline beauty of the alien city.

If Damian can’t figure out where the heck they are–and whether these aliens can help him with a cure–his ailment is sure to kill him. And with his symptoms growing worse, he fears the fallout may not be contained to one man…

Their love is destined to shatter the boundaries of time…

Archaeology grad student Alexandra Larson’s world is turned upside down when her mother shares her deepest, darkest secret—that she doesn’t know the true identity of Lex’s father. The revelation sparks a change within Lex, and her dreams become far too real. She sees things she shouldn’t be able to see…knows things she couldn’t possibly know. Terrifying things. Deadly things.

To distract her from the surreal changes taking over her life, Lex leaps at the chance to join an Egyptian excavation run by Oxford’s enigmatic Professor Marcus Bahur. But the distraction might be more than she bargained for. While deciphering the secrets of a mysterious stone tablet, Lex falls headlong into a prophecy created by a dying god over four millennia ago. She must rely on her frightening new psychic powers to dig up the truth. And it doesn’t take long for her visions to convince her that both Professor Bahur and his excavation are much more than they seem…

The past clashes with the present in this paranormal saga of ancient prophecies and warring gods. If you like Egyptian mythology, steamy romance, time-bending mysteries, and complex characters, then you’ll love this sprawling time travel adventure.
