"I devoured this dystopian in a weekend!" The natives are watching. The government is lying. And Bill Taggart is asking the wrong questions. For decades, the colony kept the Indigenes hidden. Bill's surveillance work was supposed to keep it that way. But the species he's monitoring aren't what the government claimed. And the official silence goes deeper than anyone suspected. Now the Indigenes are resurfacing. Government records are vanishing. And someone is watching his every move. Two years ago, Bill's wife disappeared from the colony. Not missing-erased. No body, no evidence, no explanation. His search for answers is leading him into dangerous territory. Where the truth about his wife and Exilon 5 converge-and both could destroy everything. The colony's survival depends on silence. Bill's wife is hoping he'll break it. A gripping sci-fi thriller for fans of Blade Runner and Dark Matter. Start reading today!
