The Second Wave (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798265258748)

It began with a cloud of vapor.

When sleek new vapes called Elysium Mist flooded the market, no one questioned their origin. But hidden inside the chemical cocktail was an alien signal - rewriting human brains one breath at a time.

Now, sleeper cells awaken in cities across the globe. Ordinary people transform into killers with inhuman speed and strength. Governments scramble to contain the chaos with a secret program called Project Apex, an army of enhanced soldiers bred from a rare metabolic quirk. But the truth is spreading faster than the lies.

Dr. Kiera Vos uncovers proof of the alien design. Colonel Jack Rennick faces the collapse of his loyalty as the cost of Apex becomes clear. And Mason Hart, a college kid caught in the crossfire, fights the terrifying changes inside himself - torn between humanity and the thing he is becoming.

Above them all, a black vessel looms, its pulse accelerating. The first wave has already broken. The second wave is about to begin.

For fans of The Tomorrow War and World War Z, The Second Wave is a relentless sci-fi thriller of invasion, conspiracy, and survival - where the enemy isn't coming. The enemy is already inside us.
