A.L.I.V.E.: A Genetic Engineering Thriller (The A.L.I.V.E. Series Book 1) 23/06/2016

by R.D. Brady

( 223 )

$5.99

The groundbreaking first generation Alien Life in Vitro Experiment (ALIVE) was a dream come true. The second and third are complete nightmares . . .

Reports of unknown objects in the sky date back hundreds of years. But since the early twentieth century, the frequency of those reports has increased dramatically. To combat the alien threat they see looming on the horizon, the US government initiated the A.L.I.V.E. (Alien Life In Vitro Experiment) Project.

Working from Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dr. Maeve Leander has been in charge of Alvie, the first subject from the A.L.I.V.E. Project, for the last three years. But she's been part of the project much longer—ever since she was a child and her mother ran the project. But Alvie is more than just some experimental subject. He's family, the only family Maeve has left.

When a new agency takes over the A.L.I.V.E. Projects, though, Maeve learns that Alvie wasn't the only subject created. Caught in the middle of a giant war game, Maeve ends up in a race for her life. But this time it’s not just humans who are the combatants.

As the violence increases and the chances for survival decrease, she realizes one terrifying truth: despite its name, the real goal of the projects is to make sure no one gets out alive.

Fans of Douglas E. Richards, Michael Crichton, and E.T. will love the A.L.I.V.E. Series!

What Readers are Saying:

“Loved it! Can't wait for the next book! Loved it, Loved it! Killed it!”

“When I read the description for this book, I wasn't sure I wanted to read an "alien/UFO" story. But then I remembered how much I enjoyed reading Hominid, which is also about a subject I wasn't sure I wanted to read. So I made the purchase and read the book, and I learned that I apparently do enjoy reading "alien/UFO" stories, at least when Brady writes about them!”

An ancient monolith uncovered in Montana
is the key to uncovering
the greatest secret in humanity's history . . .

Professor Delaney McPhearson's life is turned upside down when her best friend, archaeologist Drew Masters, is found dead. Before she can deal with the heartbreaking loss, she is viciously attacked in her home by a man with inhuman fighting abilities.

Former Navy SEAL and head of security for a global think tank, Jake Rogan drops everything when he hears his foster brother, Tom Jeffries, has gone missing. There seem to be no clues, no information about his whereabouts. He has just vanished. But Jake won't rest until he finds him.

Laney and Jake join forces when they learn that the fates of their loved ones are intertwined. And somehow all the danger that dogs their steps, revolves around an eccentric archaeologist's controversial work on Gobekli Tepe, and the search for an ancient source of power.

Their personal quest soon becomes a race to protect humanity's very existence. How though can they defeat a foe who has been planning his moves for millennia? To save mankind, Laney and Jake know they must succeed.

But to succeed, they must live long enough to fight.

This series is the quintessential good read."

$5.99

A heart-shattering loss leads to a reality-shattering discovery . . .

Every bureaucracy has a rhythm, even the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense (D.E.A.D.). Dr. Greg Schorn has gotten used to that rhythm: go on assignment, take down a government-created alien hybrid, write up a report, rinse and repeat.

Not that there’s no danger. Rounding up the escapees comes with more than a little risk. But Greg trusts the people around him, especially Mitch Haldron. At the D.E.A.D. Mitch has pulled him out of the fire more times than he can count.

But everything is about to change: Mitch, solid, dependable, downright boring Mitch, has secret.

A secret that is about to come into the light.

A secret that will blow apart Greg Schorn’s world . . .

The world is reaching a crisis point as an ancient threat re-emerges.
And the clock has just begun to tick on a whole new battlefront.

Delaney McPhearson is still reeling from the events in Heaven's Gate six months ago. Henry and Jake are physically healing and while Laney might look fine, not all wounds are so easy to see.

At the same time, the Fallen have made themselves known across the globe. Laney is being pulled from one crisis to another. But soon a new threat arises that requires all of her focus: Someone is targeting the people who are connected to the Fallen. And they are not distinguishing between the good and the bad.

The quest to stop the murders ranges across the Pacific and back in time to a dark period in human history when human sacrifices were commonplace. Laney will do whatever she must to stop these people. But the question is, will that be enough?
