Emergence: An Apocalyptic Alien Invasion

by J.K. Franks

The Truth Was Always There
Deep in the icy black of the North Atlantic, a state-of-the-art submersible makes a chilling discovery—a metallic object slicing through the water with impossible speed and precision. Moments later, systems fail, lights die, and terror takes hold. On Mars, a European rover transmits the image of a stone—etched with unknown symbols—just before vanishing from the data grid. Entire neighborhoods in Nevada disappear without a trace. And in the French Alps, a champion cyclist vanishes mid-race, his GPS pinging him thousands of miles away—then gone.

Across the globe, scattered anomalies start to form a deadly pattern. Astrophysicist Dr. Kaden Trembley has spent his career chasing patterns like these, ridiculed for suggesting intelligent life might already be watching us. But now, something has shifted. They're not just watching anymore.

As covert black-ops teams scramble to bury the truth and governments twist themselves into knots to avoid panic, whispers of alien contacts rise to a fever pitch. With global infrastructures flickering, and trust in authority crumbling, Kaden and his new allies must untangle a trail of evidence stretching from deep space to the halls of power in Washington—before the next phase begins.

From a secretive prepper enclave in the Ozarks to the heart of the Oval Office, Emergence is a brutal, unrelenting sci-fi thriller that rips the lid off the greatest conspiracy of all time. What if aliens weren’t coming… because they never left?
Humanity’s reckoning has arrived—and survival might depend on who is best prepared for the truth.

Admitted tech geek, entrepreneur, cyclist and inveterate storyteller, JK Franks’ world was formed by a childhood spent in the rural South growing up during the Space Age. This is when he developed a love for writing. He also became an avid student of history and science, and a regular reader of reference books and biographies. Once he discovered science fiction he never looked back.

His protagonists are human: not superheroes, just normal people with the same problems as everyone else, but who rise to challenges when they come along. The Catalyst series combines his passion for hard science fiction with his outlook on self-reliance.
