"Get ready, Mulder and Scully, there's a new alien hunter in town and she's called Lauren Stelleck. This is what a cracking sci-fi thriller should be like. Earth Song grabs hold of you and doesn't let go until the final page." Barry Hutchinson, author of the Space Team series.
"Made me fall in love with sci-fi all over again." Alexander Gordon Smith, author of The Fury and the Escape from Furnace series.
Lauren didn't ask to be a hero. But one night during the graveyard shift at Jodrell Bank she captured an astonishing fast radio burst from an alien race. And just like that, the fate of the world was thrust into her hands.
Now she's put everything on the line to blow open the conspiracy of silence surrounding UFOs.
She's on the run from MI5 and a secret organization determined to stop her. After a year of dead ends and a heart-breaking personal tragedy, she's on the verge of being forced to abandon her personal crusade.
But then alerts erupt across the international UFO forums. What are the crystal runic symbols that have started to appear all over the Isles of Orkney? Could they mean that the alien intelligence Lauren previously encountered is once again reaching out to humanity?
And if so, why?
With a ruthless enemy closing in fast, Lauren teams up with Jack Harper, an archaeologist and UFO sceptic, in a last desperate attempt to unearth the truth. Together can they discover the source of the strange activity on Orkney? If they fail, humanity will stand alone to face a threat coming for us from the stars.
Time is running out for the survival of all life on Earth.
Praise for Earth Song
★★★★★ "Well, I started this book as a change of pace from my usual selections and OMG, it's a very good story! I was up until 3am reading and I never do that!"
★★★★★ "A total joy - a brilliant and extremely unusual blend of hi-tech action thriller and mystery sci-fi that completely gripped me from start to finish."
★★★★★ "I loved the thriller-esque nature of it. It's fast-paced with a kick-ass heroine, Lauren, who goes all in to get the job done. The job? Saving the human race and planet Earth from what feels a very real extraterrestrial threat."
★★★★★ "Maybe it's because I've just recently got back into science fiction, but Nick Cook's books hit all the right spots! The second book in this series is just as satisfying as the first. I love how he mixes a good dose of current cutting edge science into the story, and it keeps you enthralled to the very end."
★★★★★ "Fascinating, fun, intriguing, exciting. Roller coaster ride...need I say more? now I must go - the next book in the series awaits!"
Follow humanity's epic struggle to survive across parallel universes in the Multiverse Chronicles, a series of interlinked stories that include the Earth Song series, its prequel The Signal, and also the Fractured Light trilogy.
Author Note: For my friends across the Pond please note that this book is written in UK English and uses single quotes rather than double ones. Yes, Brits are weird like that!
