Apocalyptic Alien

July 5, 2041 When small bits of matter—“seeds” let’s call them—begin falling from the sky like pollen, drifting on the breeze and eventually planting themselves in the soil, it marks the beginning of the end of human supremacy on Earth. As the seeds mutate and grow into something altogether new, financial markets plummet and society itself begins to unravel. What are these objects exactly? Eggs? Beachheads for an alien invasion? Or mere barnacles stuck to the hull of spaceship Earth that will eventually detach and float away on their own? No one knows for certain—but many ...

For Meredith Gale, ending her life seems like her only choice, and that choice is the reason she’s dangling by her fingertips from a bridge high above the freezing water of the San Francisco Bay. But someone or some thing has other plans for Meredith, and as her fingers slip from the cold steel of the bridge, a disembodied voice asks her a simple question: “Candidate 13: Do you wish to be saved?” Realizing her mistake too late, Meredith screams “Yes!” and instantly finds herself transported to a mysterious island, alongside hundreds of other Candidates like her.

It's a day after President John F. Kennedy narrowly misses Oswald's bullet. The POTUS is in the Oval Office recovering from a shrapnel wound. He has a morning cup of coffee at the Resolute Desk. He has a minor hand injury from shards of glass shattered in the limousine. He reads the morning paper about Oswald being killed outside of a Texas theater. Then, while he plays with his young toddler son John John with a new-fangled train set, it happens: A bloodcurdling sound is heard outside. A terrible ear-popping siren is all over Washington. Kennedy's face is galvanized with panic. The air ...

They called it The Light. It wiped out most of humanity. Those who didn’t die were twisted into something else—feral, bloodthirsty, and unstoppable.

Then comes Cassandra—a sharp, stubborn 14-year-old orphan who doesn’t fear him, even when she should. Together, they form a fragile alliance in a world that kills the weak and punishes the kind.

Ezra Barker is a traitor. When the Merg invaded Earth, he didn’t fight or even hide. He cooperated, helping them as they seized control of the planet and began their pillaging of its resources.

Sergeant Hayes is a brutal enforcer of the Merg’s rules. As an officer in the Health and Safety Department, he follows Merg orders, arresting, interrogating, and executing at their command.

2057 (15 years after The Takeover) “You saved us,” Lim said with the simple faith of the true believer. “Those on the outside just can’t see it yet.” The aliens known as the Phants have settled in and show no signs of leaving anytime soon—which is to say, never. Inside their protective domes, they are secure from the barbarians without. As the remaining humans scrabble for existence outside the dome walls, the occupiers live in pampered splendor. Lim 127, once Elena, has been altered by the Phants—chipped and conditioned—to make her safe. A young brain is a pliable brain. ...

Cal was lost amongst the swirling ashes of what remained of his world. He was wrung out. Guilt-ridden. And looking for a way to finally end his existence while remaining on the right side of morality. His emotional turmoil would eventually lead him to where he needed to be. On the Silk Road. The route was a sentiment. Those who found themselves traveling along it lost all hope. There was no returning from the path. The slavers known as Silkers prided themselves on this. To them, people were nothing more than cattle—to be driven, and their uses to be consumed. And they hunted. Relentlessly...

2060 (18 years after The Takeover) “War is inevitable,” Zed told the assembled Phants. “Better to destroy the mjinga humans than be destroyed by them, wouldn’t you agree?” When the Phants learn of the destruction of one of their domed cities, it hits them like a body blow. They have always assumed themselves untouchable—forever beyond the reach of the barbarians outside their walls. And yet here the humans are, messing with their force fields, attacking their city-ships, and actually managing to bring one of them down. It beggars belief: how could the humans—the ones they call...

But of course there is no force on Earth or Dlamias that is quite like the power of angry academics on the loneliest planet. The center of learning and the symbol of a peace and unity that was more fragile than anyone wanted to admit...and I... their student, had proved myself a disruptive element, shaking the table on which a delicate house of cards sat that might tumble at any moment. I had to prove my worth, the value of my work, and that adding a ...

One thing is clear: Aliens have been to Earth, and from the looks of it, not just a single race. There were two.
