Into the Cage
A new job
A new threat
A new chance to die
Dr. Greg Schorn is now working with the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense (D.E.AD.). And no one is more surprised than him.
After the events in Norway, Greg was sure he would never go back into government work. Yet just a few short months later, he is back in the United States working at the new D.E.A.D. headquarters in upstate New York.
But it’s not the same D.EA.D. that existed under Martin Drummond’s tyrannical rule. The biggest change starts at the Norah Tidwell is the director. But more importantly, missions are not always kill on sight.
That doesn’t mean things aren’t dire. The numbers aren’t adding up. And a slew of cases demonstrate that the creatures from Area 51 have made it into the suburbs, the very rich suburbs.
Greg though, knows they had a little help getting there.
One case leads to many and before Greg knows it, the guy voted most likely trip over his own feet is fighting for his life.
Greg will need every ounce of courage he can summon to survive. But his survival is not his top priority. Because this foe has targeted someone close to Greg. And saving them will be Greg’s greatest act.
And possibly, his last.

On pins and needles.
If you enjoyed reading D.E.A.D, this new series is starting out on a very high note. My favorite author is Stephen King, but I have to admit that after reading my first book by R.D.Brady I love everything she written, her book are entertaining, exciting, well thought out, when you start you can't put it down, the story just draws you in can't put it down. On pins and needles.

great
As usual RD Brady has given us a book that is non stop brilliance. I love the way she puts so much personality in with the action, so you can easily imagine yourself being in their shoes. Also taps into exactly what humans are like , extremely wealthy people caring only about themselves and their money , and everyday people who would lay down their lives out of kindness. Every book this author produces is one to grab as soon as it hits the shelves.

This was really excellent! I did really enjoy it! A developed main character, with slightly high anxiety, working for a government agency investigating man made aliens! A brilliant idea, a really fun, well written story with added interest that his nephew is involved in this exciting alien thriller! I do recommend!

She did it to me again
R.D. Brady has sucked me into another series by spring boarding off another series that I loved. Excellent story line, well developed characters, especially if you have read the A.L.I.V.E. series. Fast paced, difficult to put down.

Hope this is the first of a series.
I like Ms. Brady's writing. This one is another. She writes with knowledge blending current science into science fantasy. Read this book so she'll have to write a sequel.

Another great one!
How does she weave such a tale, where the impossible becomes the normal, the aliens are part of the good guy's family, and the humans are the monsters? You'll just have to read it to see. Enjoy!

Wonderful!
What a wonderful story and I hope to see a follow-up book soon. All the characters were easily imagined and I would love to see more about the other aliens from the story. Thanks to RD Brady for her great imagination.
