Emergence

An Apocalyptic Alien Invasion (Command & Control, Book 1)

By: JK Franks

Narrated by: Steven Varnum

The Truth Was Always There

Deep in the icy black of the North Atlantic, a state-of-the-art submersible makes a chilling discovery—a metallic object slicing through the water with impossible speed and precision. Moments later, systems fail, lights die, and terror takes hold. On Mars, a European rover transmits the image of a stone—etched with unknown symbols—just before vanishing from the data grid. Entire neighborhoods in Nevada disappear without a trace. And in the French Alps, a champion cyclist vanishes mid-race, his GPS pinging him thousands of miles away—then gone.

Across the globe, scattered anomalies start to form a deadly pattern. Astrophysicist Dr. Kaden Trembley has spent his career chasing patterns like these, ridiculed for suggesting intelligent life might already be watching us. But now, something has shifted. They're not just watching anymore.

As covert black-ops teams scramble to bury the truth and governments twist themselves into knots to avoid panic, whispers of alien contacts rise to a fever pitch. With global infrastructures flickering, and trust in authority crumbling, Kaden and his new allies must untangle a trail of evidence stretching from deep space to the halls of power in Washington—before the next phase begins.

From a secretive prepper enclave in the Ozarks to the heart of the Oval Office, Emergence is a brutal, unrelenting sci-fi thriller that rips the lid off the greatest conspiracy of all time. What if aliens weren’t coming… because they never left?

Humanity’s reckoning has arrived—and survival might depend on who is best prepared for the truth.

A little different

A new and interesting storyline that I don’t think I’ve experienced before. This really ended up not being my genre, but I stayed until the end and may come back to follow up works.

cool book

The reader sounds like a troll or leprechaun, especiallywhen doing voices. The story is good though.

Great story and realistic

Listened to quite a few aliens books. This one is amazing. It’s tied for first in my opinion

Excellent

One of the best science fiction books I have read! Lots of twists and turns which kept the story captivating!! Loved the narrator. What an amazing job on all the voices!

Slow start with an ending worth the wait

Started a little heavy on conspiracy theory but turned into a great story and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series
