Aurora: Hive

Rave Reviews
"Relentless... a masterclass in tension."

"Brilliant. I couldn't stop reading."

THE EARTH WAS NEVER ALONE.

Five years ago, humanity thought it had won.

The creature was destroyed. The nightmare was over. The Aurora was buried beneath the Florida soil, and with it, the truth of what was found in the darkness.

But something survived.

A single hatchling. Hidden in the forgotten depths of the ship. Waiting. Growing. Learning.

Now Commander Sarah Mitchell is called back from retirement. The signs are unmistakable: animals drained of all fluid, mysterious tunnels spreading beneath the Kennedy Space Center, and a low, pulsating hum that should not exist.

What Mitchell discovers beneath the surface is worse than anything she faced in space.

The Hive is not a nest. It is a lock.

A prison designed to keep something contained for millions of years. The creatures she fought were never the enemy-they were the guardians of something far older. Far hungrier. Far more patient.

By destroying the Hive, Mitchell opened the door.

And now, something is coming.

AURORA: HIVE is the second book in the Aurora Trilogy-a dark science fiction thriller blending survival horror, cosmic mystery, and pulse-pounding suspense.
