Mike Turcotte has been fighting a shadow war since the day he stumbled onto the truth about Area 51. He’s a soldier—killing is what he was trained to do, and it’s kept him alive through alien civil wars, ancient conspiracies, and threats that make nuclear weapons look like firecrackers. But in Area 51 Redemption, the stakes aren’t about classified secrets anymore. A Swarm Battle Core is bearing down on Earth, visible to the naked eye, and humanity is about to experience the same terror that has wiped out civilizations across the galaxy.

The action stretches from the rust-colored slopes of Mons Olympus on Mars, where the Airlia alien Nyx faces her own reckoning, to the underground bunkers of Dreamland, Texas, where a desperate strategy takes shape using Tesla’s lost technology. From Paris to the Rocky Mountains to Earth orbit, the players in this war are running out of options and time.

I drew on my Green Beret background to ground every firefight and tactical decision in reality—even when the battlefield extends to other planets. Because the best science fiction isn’t really about aliens. It’s about us. What we’ll sacrifice. What we’ll fight for. Who we become when the world is ending.
