They vanished from history. Now they’re back—with the power to decide humanity’s fate.
When ex-soldier Evan Carter crashes his bike in the Arizona desert, the last thing he expects is to wake up in the arms of a stunning, sharp-tongued alien pilot… who looks suspiciously like a Neanderthal. Enna isn’t here to make friends. She’s part of an elite team sent from a distant world to determine whether modern humans are still worth saving—or overdue for extinction.
Evan is in over his head. Caught between a ruthless alien captain with secrets to protect, a woman who stirs something primal in him, and a global countdown he barely understands, his choices could doom—or redeem—an entire species.
But as sparks fly between the human and his alien rescuer, a new question will love cloud their mission… or rewrite the future of Earth?
Part first contact thriller, part slow-burn alien romance, Space Neanderthals Return is a bold sci-fi adventure packed with ancient secrets, military tension, and interspecies heat. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Prometheus, and slow-burn sci-fi with teeth.
Easy & entertaining reading. You don’t have to be a techno geek or wizard to understand story. It moves along at a quick pace, easily holding readers interest. Only part I didn’t like was it ended so quickly but if it hadn’t, geekiness would have probably taken over since earth & all things earthly would have no longer been in the story. So guess there was no part I didn’t enjoy.
Moves along very quickly. Probably could have dived deeper into some philosophical issues, but was still a fun read. For instance, Neanderthals were given advanced help, but humans are not deserving? Briefly talked about wars etc. like the aliens in The Abyss.
