The Quiet Signal: First Contact

In the quiet pine forests of East Texas, communications technician Logan Mercer climbs a three-hundred-foot tower and finds something that should not exist. A signal. It appears at exactly 8:17 - every day, for precisely seven minutes. It has no source. It leaves no record. And the deeper Logan looks, the more the world seems determined to make him stop. When a federal agent arrives with orders that come from higher than any clearance she has ever known, Logan realizes the signal is not a glitch. It is a countdown. One that has been running for generations in secret. What begins as a technical anomaly becomes a race against forces that have spent decades erasing evidence, silencing witnesses, and burying the truth. Because the signal is not a message from the stars. It is a warning. And whatever is coming has already begun its journey. The Quiet Signal is the first book in a gripping science-fiction thriller series that asks the most dangerous question of all: What could frighten a civilization advanced enough to cross the stars?
