On a remote, desolate planet something is amiss. Several somethings in fact. With something watching them, a murderer amongst them and no way of escaping, the small research team on Graves' World are going to need all the help they can get. Help which may have just arrived in the shape of Taylor West. He's turned his hand to solving mysteries in the past but has rarely been in so much danger. Because there is far more to this planet than meets the eye, and not everyone wants his help....
Ever wondered if you were meant to have done something special with your life? Daniel is the poster boy for wasted talent and finds himself at rock bottom. One despairing suicide later and he is about to discover that death is not as final as he had thought it might be and that his troubles are only just beginning. From WW1 trenches to ancient Britain and to the far future where science is opening doors it really shouldn’t, Daniel must find a way to save his species and perhaps his own soul in the process.
Small town, rural America. A man walks into a hospital for help, except this man can't be helped. He will die horribly, and he is just the first of many. Dr Jamie Metcalf fights viruses. He was the rising star of the Army Medical Corps Rapid Response Unit before he gave it up for his family. He swore he'd never go back but an outbreak has started, unlike anything seen before, and if it can't be contained then the loss of life will be unthinkable. For this is something new, something lethal, perhaps something unstoppable; and it's not from round here...
There must be someone else out there. In the cold, in the dark, in the vastness of space there can't be just one lonely species peering out into the void; but if there's others, where are they? Now an alien probe has been found and it's point of origin calculated, so a state of the art ship has been sent to take the first step, to make first contact.
