Earth has been saved from the brink of destruction – but for how long? Aliens known as the “beacons” have just averted the planet’s total obliteration, so a powerful energy field near Earth is not putting minds at ease. And when Guy appears out of nowhere, remembering nothing but his name, the questions quickly stack up: is he a man, or an alien Trojan horse? One thing is soon made certain: he is the genetic twin of the country’s leading scientist, Adam Desai, who is still coming to terms with his own alien origins. Not surprisingly, Adam suspects a connection between the stranger’s sudden appearance and the recently defused threat to their planet. While Adam struggles to determine what Guy’s existence means for himself and the future of humanity, both men fight the alarming effects of their too-similar make-up – and stuck in the middle is the space center’s alluring, newly appointed director, Rosie Granger. This thrilling story of aliens living among us is perfect for fans of A.G. Riddle, Rysa Walker and Linnea Sinclair. less

In finding each other they obliterated the first wave of an alien attack on Earth, and together they remain humanity’s only chance of salvation. But they are little help to Earth when they are being tracked like prey by a relentless assassin and are unable to tap into the source of their power, their distant planet of origin... moreIt is one thing to find your path, another entirely to walk it.

When an assassin, sole survivor of the decimated alien attack force, captures Garrett, Elaine must make vital decisions that will change their relationship forever, putting at risk the crucial role they share in keeping Earth safe. Meanwhile, Adam must reforge the severed connection to their distant homeworld before the threat returns. If the beacons are to avert catastrophe, they must rescue Garrett and make a connection with their home planet before the invaders return, but will it be too late?
