When the power goes out and the cell phones stop working, Rosie is in denial about how serious the situation could be. As it becomes clear the disruption is global-and even more sinister-an intergalactic plot is uncovered, Rosie works to keep her family and neighbors alive while dealing with some earth-shattering revelations.
Into the Dark
A heart-shattering loss leads to a world-altering discovery... Every bureaucracy has a rhythm, even the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense (D.E.A.D.). Dr. Greg Schorn has gotten used to that rhythm: go on assignment, take down a government-created alien hybrid, write up a report, rinse and repeat. Not that there's no danger. Rounding up the escapees comes with more than a little risk. But Greg trusts the people around him, especially Mitch Haldron. At the D.E.A.D., Mitch has pulled him out of the fire more times than he can count. But everything is about to change: Mitch, solid, dependable, downright boring Mitch, has a secret. A secret that is about to come into the light. A secret that will blow apart Greg Schorn's world... R.D. Brady's sixth installment in The A.L.I.V.E.
