Scoop Vol. 3
Scoop Vol. 3 by Richard Ashley Hamilton is an exhilarating tale where Sophie, while visiting Cuba with her mum, is haunted by visions revealing past mysteries and pointing to future troubles. Milo is about to witness a murder on a Miami movie set, and Usnavy is investigating strange creature sightings. The only way for Sophie to save them in time is by unearthing a crashed UFO!
After being blasted by alien energy, Sophie takes a break from reality on a girls' trip with her mum in Cuba. Their aim is to reconnect and retrace their family history until eerie visions show Sophie the fateful crash of a UFO in 1960 that has major ramifications on her life. Just as she wraps her head around that, she glimpses a premonition of her friend, Milo, getting shot.
Desperate to save him, Sophie comes clean about her extraterrestrial extracurricular activities, only for the Cuban Army to arrest her. Apparently, they aren't too fond of American reporters on their soil. What follows is an eye-opening visit from a mad scientist, a jailbreak of intergalactic proportions, and a touching heart-to-heart between Sophie and her mum that leaves both women feeling newfound appreciation—and awe—for each other.
Scoop: Sci-Fi Witness represents Sophie’s most exciting and most emotional investigation yet, in which she solves a twisty murder mystery once again torn from the headlines. The only way for her to survive is by focusing on the facts, trusting her instincts, and finally being honest about her feelings for Usnavy and Milo.
