Their mission wasn’t supposed to find anything – least of all the truth.

Captain Taylor Ray commands a deep-space recon crew on a mission scouring the far reaches of the galaxy for signs of the Hedalt; Earth’s long-defeated alien enemy.

No-one really expects him to find anything because no-one ever has. After decades of hunting the remnants of the Hedalt across light years, all that remains are ghosts – long-dead outposts of a long-dead civilization.

But Captain Ray enjoys the company of his tight-knit, specialist crew, and the ten years’ worth of pay for just four years in the wilderness also helps.

When his ship detects a faint Hedalt signal and he orders his crew to investigate, Captain Ray couldn’t possibly know what he is about to discover.

Everything he thinks he knows is a lie. The Hedalt war didn’t end. It hasn’t even begun.

The Contingency War takes the alien invasion sci-fi genre and turns it on its head. Buckle up for action, mystery, adventure, and a twist that you won’t see coming…

Adapt or perish.

Trisha Walker thought the worst was behind her. Failed marriage. Her daughter’s health problems. The sudden move to Nairobi.

She thought wrong. Nothing can prepare her for the greatest transition yet: an alien invasion.

While the world crumbles under the fear of an approaching extraterrestrial armada, Trisha reluctantly plays host to a soldier, a thief, and an explosive secret. Things are getting dangerous, and that’s before the aliens land.

There’s one sliver of hope — a rumored safe place hidden atop a distant mountain. It’s a risky option, especially when a crime lord with a mysterious past comes searching for her stolen artifact of alien origin.

As wildlife, criminals, and aliens run rampant through Nairobi, Trisha is sure of only three things. Home isn’t safe. Peace is not an option. And she’ll do anything to protect her daughter.

But first, she’ll have to adjust to a world ruled by a new apex predator — humanity’s replacement.

Transition is the first book in the Avery Blake and Vered Ehsani series The Next Evolution. Discover your new favorite SciFi series today!
