Earthburst Saga

A pulsating sci-fi thriller from the author of the global blockbuster Not Alone - perfect for fans of Andy Weir and A.G. Riddle. I wasn't supposed to survive. The station has been hit. Everyone around me is dead. I have 11 hours of life support left and no way of contacting Earth. I'm alone. I'm stranded. I'm desperate. But I'm alive. The more of the station I explore, the surer I get that this was no accident. Someone did this, and I don't think they're finished yet. Making it home feels like an impossible task, but I'm not just fighting for my own life. I have to protect my family - whatever it takes. And as long as I'm breathing, this isn't over. Because whoever did this almost pulled it off… but they made one big mistake: They left the wrong man standing...

Surviving in space was the easy part … I'm not alone anymore. I've made it down from the solitude of the station, all the way to an incredible underground bunker complex. Thousands of humanity's best minds are by my side. I'm surrounded by secret cutting-edge technologies that almost defy belief. Too bad none of that is a match for what I'm up against now. Because in just three days, the final stage of Ignacio Zola's demented plan to reach a new world will eliminate all life on Earth-unless I can pull off a miracle. The stakes couldn't be any higher. The odds couldn't be any longer. I'm the man who uncovered Zola's plan. And now, I'm the only man who can stop him. This fight started in space and brought me deep below Earth's surface. But that's nothing compared to what comes next …

The final showdown is coming … Ignacio Zola saw billions of lives as collateral damage in his plan to reach a new world. But when I got in his way, I didn't just make him angry. I made this personal. Stopping one disaster has only pushed him towards something even more diabolical. Now, I have one shot left. To stop the planet-killing cataclysm Zola has set in motion, I'll have to repurpose some mind-blowing technology from his own abandoned research center. Everything rests on Operation Starshot: a one-in-a-million mission to finish what I've started. And even if I survive a journey nothing could prepare me for, I know who'll be waiting on the other side. I've stared death in the eyes too many times to count. But to settle this once and for all, I'll have to go face to face with evil …

I guess saving the world once wasn't enough… First it was the auroras, lighting up Europe every night. Then came the weird clouds over Africa. The tidal shifts... the failing crops... the crazy changes to animal migration... And I think all of this is just the start. I don't buy the official line that these are natural occurrences. Not anymore. Not since a whistleblower hid a coded message in my invitation for an upcoming commemoration ceremony on The Vita. Now I know the truth - that Earth is in serious danger from the side-effects of their reckless research. Since the moment I found out, I've known what I have to do. Three years ago, I went into space and almost died saving the world from a madman's evil plan. When I made it home, I swore I'd never leave my family behind again. But to make sure we'll still have a planet to call home in another three years, I have to go back. And this time, they're coming with me... ______________ The Anomaly is the fourth book in The Earthburst Saga, which begins with Last Man Standing. From Craig A. Falconer, bestselling author of the global blockbuster Not Alone.

When the stars whisper, we have to listen... An alien signal. Of all the things I expected to uncover while trying to make sense of the Anomaly, this didn't even enter my mind. But now, the signal has changed my understanding of everything. The Anomal

Beyond the gate, destiny awaits... An alien message is now humanity's only hope. Decoding the signal has given us one chance to stop the Anomaly, an ever-tightening cosmic noose, before it squeezes the life out of Earth. The only problem is, the aliens

I made it home. But something came with me … From hero to outcast. From saviour to biohazard … As hollow victories go, this one is hard to beat. When Driver and I saved Earth from the Anomaly's suffocating radiation, we thought it was all over. Our triumphant return from the occupied alien world of Bayzen was supposed to draw a line under everything. The problem is, we didn't come home alone. No one has ever seen anything like this. What they're calling it sends shivers down my spine: a parasitic alien pathogen. It could be a virus, a toxin, or maybe something even worse. And believe me: what we don't know definitely can hurt us. It's too late for me—I've been exposed. But this has never been about me. It's going to take some incredible risks and another long-shot space mission to get to the bottom of this, but I'll fight until my last breath to undo the damage I've done. As a horrible question echoes in my mind, I'll do anything to make sure the answer is the right one: Am I Earth's last hope … or the man who sealed its fate?

I thought I'd seen it all. Talk about your all-time wake-up calls … Earth is teeming with alien larvae. That reality has just crashed down on us like a ton of contaminated space rocks. Every time I close my eyes, I still see the huge spider-like monster rising up. I killed that one just in time, but we know that more could hatch at any moment. Even worse … we know that if any of them reach their final form, they'll be indestructible. Now, our only hope of saving Earth from this ticking time-bomb lies on the distant world of Eden. The problem? We have reason to think the natives engineered this stuff. If there was any other route forward, we'd be taking it. We wouldn't be blazing this uncharted path to potentially hostile territory. But with one card left to play in a game we can't afford to lose, I can't keep my mind from fixating on one unshakeable question: Are we racing towards Earth's salvation … or on a one-way trip to oblivion?

They’re ancient. They’re hostile. They’re here. The alien creatures have made it to Earth. Entire cities are battling invasion from the menacing swarms. This is worse than Zola. It’s worse than the Leak. It’s worse than all of our nightmares put together. The creatures are indestructible, shrugging off our strongest weaponry. Now, our only hope lies inside a powerful ancient artifact we don’t understand. To save Earth’s future, we have to unlock the secrets of a lost alien past. Whatever it takes, we have to harness the power of the Orb. Humanity is coming together for one last stand against this threat from afar. The odds are against us, but we will never give up. We will fight for our world. We will fight for our people. All or nothing. … we will fight to the end.
