The Beacon: A First Contact Thriller

By Andrew Horman

When a rescue mission in Alaska's most remote wilderness goes catastrophically wrong, search-and-rescue specialist Eliza Moreno discovers something that shouldn't exist: an ancient underground facility pulsing with alien technology. The survivors face an impossible choice. The "corrupted" beings hunting them were once human-volunteers who chose integration with an alien species thousands of years ago. Now the visitors have returned, offering humanity the same choice: partnership or isolation. But the facility holds a darker secret. Integration requires sacrifice. And time is running out. A thriller about first contact, trauma, and the weight of choosing to heal-or choosing to stay broken.
