Survival is just the beginning. The real battle lies in the stars.

In a world turned upside down, Dr. Maeve Leander and Captain Chris Garrigan entrust the safety of Alvie, the triplets, and their growing band of fugitives to Tilda Watson. With dangerous government forces closing in, their last hope rests in a mythical island, long thought to be nothing more than a legend. But, as they soon discover, this sanctuary is far from secure.

A new, otherworldly threat enters the fray, testing loyalties and ever-changing allegiances. As Maeve navigates this treacherous new reality, she must confront not only the dangers that pursue her, but the secrets that lie within her own ranks...

This thrilling third instalment of The A.L.I.V.E. Series blends alternate history, alien sci-fi, and genetic engineering to create a gripping tale of survival and betrayal.

About the Author

R.D. Brady is the best seller behind over sixty pulse pounding supernatural and science fiction thrillers. A former criminologist and terrorism expert, she weaves cutting edge research and real‐world intrigueβ€”born from her academic work on terrorist ideology and life course criminologyβ€”into epic adventures where fierce women and brave men face ancient mysteries, unexplained scientific phenomena, and unrelenting action. When she’s not plotting high stakes rescues, you’ll find her teaching martial arts, logging miles as a dedicated runner, puttering around her garden, or spoiling her loyal canine companions. Under the pen name Sadie Hobbes, she also spins urban fantasy tales that keep readers on the edge of their seats.
