FIRST CONTACT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN THIS WAY.
For generations, Kael's people have watched humanity from a world that must remain hidden.
Contact with the surface is forbidden. Exposure could threaten everything his civilization has sacrificed to protect. But when a dangerous convergence begins to take shape, Kael realizes that remaining silent may carry an even greater cost.
Someone on the surface must be warned.
Kael has studied humanity from a distance. He knows its capacity for discovery, violence, compassion, and fear. He also knows that choosing the wrong person could place both civilizations in danger.
With time running out, Kael makes an unauthorized decision. He sends an impossible object to the surface and places the future of two worlds in the hands of Alex Mercer, a man who has no idea he is being watched.
That single act will set events in motion that neither world can reverse.
RESET: First Contact is the gripping prequel novella to the six-book RESET series. Blending philosophical science fiction, advanced artificial intelligence, hidden history, and the tension of a first-contact thriller, it reveals the decision that leads directly into RESET: The Cost of Being Seen.
The RESET series begins here.
