Time is running out and the cost of failure could doom the Earth 

For Maeve and her fugitives, safety is temporary. The Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense will stop at nothing to find them. But that threat pales in comparison to the world-shattering cataclysm the alien Council has threatened if Maeve doesn't heed their ultimatum.

Earth's fate hangs by a thread as aliens and humans clash in a cosmic ultimatum.

Maeve Leander and her group have found a temporary sanctuary thanks to Adam Watson, but their respite is overshadowed by looming threats from both terrestrial and extraterrestrial forces.

As Martin Drummond continues his relentless pursuit, Maeve anxiously grapples with the unknown fate of Pop and Crackle, and the agonising silence from Agaren. When contact is finally reestablished, it doesn't bring the joyful reunion Maeve had hoped for.

The alien Council has an ultimatum for the people of Earth, one they may not be able to meet. And, if they don't, the Council is poised to exact a world-shattering cost. Can Maeve and her allies meet the Council's impossible demands before it's too late?

Prepare for an unforgettable journey that blurs the lines between human ingenuity and alien technology in the fourth must-read addition to R.D. Brady's The A.L.I.V.E. Series.

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 intrigue—born from her academic work on terrorist ideology and life course criminology—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.
