The Ayda

Earth has fallen. The Ayda is coming home.

The Xenari have taken Earth.

Cities burn. Survivors hide beneath ruined streets. Resistance cells whisper through the dark under one name: The Signal.

Across the universe, Sergeant Rosco Martin and the surviving crew of The Ayda reach Andromeda, searching for sanctuary. What they find is impossible: a hidden civilisation built by survivors of a war millions of years old.

It should be salvation.

Instead, it becomes a trap.

The Union offers safety, but not freedom. Its leaders fear something older than the Xenari, older than humanity, and powerful enough to erase entire civilisations from history.

Back on occupied Earth, Dr Janelle Martin is fighting to keep her children alive while the resistance prepares to strike back. Far away, Rosco must uncover the truth behind the Union, reclaim The Ayda, and find a way home before Earth is lost forever.

But the war between humans and Xenari was never the whole story.

Something has been watching from beyond the stars.

And now it has noticed.

The Ayda is the explosive second book in The Origin Series, a cinematic military science-fiction thriller of occupation, rebellion, impossible alliances and the terrifying enemy behind the war.
