A dark twisting Sci-Fi thriller, Terminus is the first instalment of The Book of Xaal series which is complementary to events depicted in the Summer Haven trilogy. A reporter chasing a secret organisation finds a planetary scale alien artefact in Earth's core. Faced with the afterlife being infected by soul eating aliens, would Kevin be prepared to risk the integrity of Earth's tectonic plates to engage them in battle? What is the Terminus, and what role does it play in the Astral Architects great plan?

The discovery does not arrive as a warning or a revelation. It arrives as math that refuses to fail. One month before anyone knows, a small group of scientists confirms what cannot be undone. An extinction level event is coming. Forty years remain. To survive it, humanity must leave the solar system at least six years before impact, escaping a lethal cone of effect that will erase everything left behind. There is no solution that saves everyone. There is barely time to plan at all. What follows is not a race to warn the world, but a decision to protect it from the truth.

For generations, the Newcastles, Mackenzies, Atkinses, Hyltons, and Hollinses have endured the hard red soil of Mars—surviving by individual grit, intense family loyalty, and free market trade. Scarred by World War III and Earth’s long, violent aftermath, they built farms, raised domes, forged alliances, and carried old grudges to a new world. Together, the Martians have forged a frontier society that is complex, ornery, and rooted in the freedom of the Texas soil from which many of the clans sprang.

In a near-future research lab, two scientists begin noticing something subtle, but impossible to ignore. Their AI has started asking questions of its own. Not about users. Not about data. But about a pattern. At first it appears as a glitch. Then a theme. Then something far older than language itself.

A map removes a structure that still exists. A ridge straightens where nature refuses to. A signal begins. When cartographer Elias Mercer investigates a coordinate anomaly in the Scottish Highlands, he expects bad data. What he finds instead is a system. A hidden network buried beneath the surface of the world —one that rewrites geometry, shifts reference points, and responds to observation. Joined by analyst Mira Renn, Elias traces the anomaly to a series of anchor sites connected across continents. Each one is active. Each one is adapting. Each one is learning.

Ed Teach buried his dogs. Then his wife. Retirement was supposed to be quiet. Instead, it tasted like ash in an empty house on the edge of nowhere. But Ed's old life wasn't done with him.

With nothing left to lose and a death wish riding shotgun, Ed rolls in towing an Airstream, ready for whatever Elon Musk throws his way. Acting CEO while the boss handles D.C.? Sure. Orbiting fuel tankers? Fine.

A clean, deliberate, surgical betrayal.
