A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing.

Unlocking a Secret

When she receives a mysterious invitation to work as an intern at the secretive Monmouth Project, twenty-one-year-old NICOLA SPENCER feels sure that their claim—that the facility is headquartered in a deep-sea military base—must be a hoax. 

What she finds down there—the real agenda of the ‘above-top-secret’ black project—is bigger than she could have imagined.  NICOLA is soon assigned to work on a faster-than-light craft known as the Nox.  But she must grapple with the demands of her conscience when she witnesses another engineer murdered before he can expose the base’s biggest secret.  To find out the nature of this deadly secret, NICOLA must infiltrate the ‘Red Zone,’ the innermost sector of the base.  Even as she downloads critical evidence of the leadership’s dark agenda, her only route of escape is suddenly blocked, forcing her to risk a death-defying escape.

Sounding the Alarm

PRESIDENT GALLAGHER has only been in office six weeks when NICOLA’s classified information lands on his desk—news that will immediately alter the course of his presidency, if not the fate of the world: the U.S. government has been party to a bilateral treaty—a secret treaty—with an off-world imperial entity known as the Orondrach Regnum for seventy years.  Through the partnership, the nation gained access to an almost unimaginable technological treasure trove.  For decades, the humans benefitted, receiving faster-than-light propulsion technology and dangerous armaments.  But now GALLAGHER discovers what the aliens demand in exchange.  They’re calling in their chips.  Worse, the time for the launch of the armada is only days away.

Caught In the Crosshairs

NICOLA is running for her life.  With a key ally suddenly unable to protect her, she faces a disturbing choice—surrender crucial evidence of the string of murders that occurred inside the program back to the shadowy Sentinels, or immediately be placed in mortal danger herself.  If she takes the life-altering decision to expose the truth, it means having an “X” marked on her back. 

In this (soon-to-be-released) genre-blending sci-fi thriller, one small secret makes Nicola the target in a dangerous manhunt that could determine Earth’s place in the fractious galactic landscape for hundreds of years to come.
