The Genesis Machine

by K.J. Gillenwater

Charlie Cutter is a military cryptologist who is recruited to NCIS-A, a secret division of the Navy that investigates alien activity on earth.

Her first assignment: studying a strange pod that landed during a storm in North Dakota.

As the newest team member, she learns on the fly as she races to figure out where the pod came from and why it landed on earth.

The mystery deepens when it's revealed this isn't the first pod to arrive, and someone at NCIS-A may know more than anyone realized.
