A tense psychological sci-fi thriller for adult and crossover readers, set on an alien world where a father's mission to save his daughter uncovers terrifying secrets.

Austin thought bringing his daughter on a routine mission would be a chance to reconnect after years apart. But their deep-space expedition to the uncharted planet Paphos is anything but routine.

Buried within the planet's forests lies a sprawling, crumbling alien compoundβ€”and they are not alone. A creature capable of seizing control of any host stalks them, turning their expedition into a desperate fight for survival.

With their escape pods sabotaged and radios destroyed, hunted by an intelligence that hides among them, Austin must forsake all others to keep his daughter safe. The only way home is forwardβ€”deeper into the facility, deeper into the unknown.

Perfect for fans of sci-fi thrillers, this pulse-pounding novel explores the limits of survival, the mysteries of first contact, and the unbreakable bond between a father and his daughter.

About the Author

Nick Burnette is an American author specializing in Science Fiction and Fantasy. Raised in a secret society of 80's movies, he honed a unique blend of adventure, suspense, and imagination-along with a few deadly skills best left in the dojo. When he's not crafting high-stakes stories of first contact, cyberpunk detectives, and kung fu, he can be found plotting his next twist, exploring the cosmos with a telescope, or debating the finer points of old television series with his wife.
