Lone Survivor (An Alex Hawkins Action Thriller—Book 1)

In the desolate landscape of Arizona, a silent killer descends from the stars. A military satellite, launched to collect extraterrestrial organisms, plummets back to Earth, carrying a deadly contagion of unknown origin. In the nearby town of Piedmont, a horrifying discovery awaits: its residents are dead, frozen in postures of shock and terror.

With the threat of a global pandemic looming, the government activates Project Wildfire, a top-secret emergency protocol. A team of elite scientists is summoned to an underground laboratory, a subterranean fortress designed to contain the unthinkable. Sealed off from the world, they race against time to unravel the mysteries of the Andromeda Strain, an alien microorganism unlike anything they've ever encountered.

As the body count rises and the contagion mutates, the scientists confront not only a scientific puzzle but also the chilling possibility that their efforts may be futile. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, they must confront their own limitations and the terrifying truth that some secrets are best left undisturbed.

When a private jet plunges into the Atlantic on a foggy summer night, only two survive: Scott Burroughs, a painter on the fringes of the elite, and a four-year-old boy, the sole heir to a media empire. As the world grapples with the tragedy, suspicion mounts. Was the crash a random accident, or a meticulously orchestrated plot?

Pulled from obscurity, Scott finds himself caught in a storm of media frenzy and accusations. Weaving together the survivors' harrowing journey with the untold stories of the victims—a Wall Street titan, a Texan playboy, a young woman at a crossroads—Before the Fall unravels a tapestry of secrets, revealing the intricate connections that led to that fateful night.

In a world hungry for answers, Scott fights to clear his name and protect the young boy, forging an unlikely bond amidst the chaos. But as the truth emerges, it becomes clear that fate, morality, and the ties that bind us are far more complex than they appear.
