“The Fermi Paradox” is a standalone story set in the same universe as Brandon Overall’s first book, “Superhuman Nature”. The story takes place after events of the first book, but follows the tale of a completely new cast of characters. Reading the first book is not necessary in order to fully enjoy this one! Alan Turner is an experienced combat veteran of the Second Korean War. He wants only to spend his remaining days secluded in an Alaskan cabin, far away from reminders of his past. His peace and quiet come to an end when the planet is struck by an electromagnetic pulse and an alien spaceship is knocked out of the sky not far from his home. Alan races to the crash site to investigate and stumbles across the first known alien lifeform, marking humanity’s first contact with alien life. However, he’s not the only one interested in this downed ship. A covert government organization known only as the Administration also rushes to investigate the site of the crash. They have been tracking the activity of this alien race across thousands of years of human history. They are driven to understand the intentions of these uninvited visitors and, if necessary, eliminate the threat. Alan quickly discovers that even though this stranded alien pilot has remarkable abilities, it can’t accomplish its mission without Alan’s help. Alan is forced to make an important decision: does he turn over this extraterrestrial lifeform to the Administration, or risk his own life to protect it? As events unfold, the true nature of this alien race comes to light, and the truth that is revealed is more terrible than anyone could have imagined. A horrifying fate awaits the human race, and their only chance of survival hinges on whether or not they are willing to trust the words of this mysterious alien.
