THE MYSTERIOUS LAND OF AETHERON

*Earth's first contact doesn't come with peace. It comes with a name.*

MIT valedictorian Dorian delivers a perfect speech... then his voice changes. His skin cracks. He turns to ash and vanishes - only to reappear on every screen, phone, and TV on the planet.

His message: _"I am the representative of Aetheron. Assemble your leaders. I will speak only to them."_

48 hours later, the world's most powerful people are locked inside the UN. Nine hours they wait in an empty hall.

Then the ash returns.

Dorian chooses one human to stand for Earth: Ethan Cole, an intelligence analyst who has no idea why an alien knows his name.

But Dorian does. And his first words to Ethan change everything:

*"You were chosen. Not by me. By your father."*

Ethan's father disappeared with four other NASA scientists the night they found a new Earth-like planet. The next day, the coordinates were empty. The planet was gone.

Now the alien who took his place says contact has begun.

*What did NASA find? Why was Ethan chosen? And what is Aetheron?*

*First Contact was just the beginning.*
