The birth of a new hero. Can he save the world before it’s too late http://buff.ly/1LM4pN6 #firstcontact #aliens #demons #Roswell #bookboost

 

The time has come . . .

The Nephilim, abominations that represent the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of man,” have stepped out of the shadows in a bid to conquer humankind.

All the while, beings far more terrifying than what the public thought was discovered at Roswell are crossing dimensions in a bold gamble to capture Earth, enslave humans, and destroy the Nephilim.

And in between: HUMANITY.

Young physicist and archaeologist Trevor Pendleton is tasked with assembling a team to unravel the mysteries of the natural and supernatural that threaten to ravage mankind and rip the world apart.

Time is short and the stakes could not be higher.
