FROM MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER JASPER T. SCOTT
THEY HAVE ARRIVED.
2150 AD:Chris Randall just lost his job as a bodyguard. That night, after picking up his wife, Bree, from her shift at a local casino, he breaks the bad news.

Moments later, thunder cracks the sky, but there’s no lightning. Flaming debris rain across the valley, and a dark mass goes sailing out of the clouds, headed straight for LA.

It’s not one of the Union’s starships, because they can’t defy gravity like that. But then what is it?

The answer chills both Chris and Bree to their cores: it’s an invasion.

They have to pick up their kids and get away from the city. But the Randalls soon discover that nowhere is far enough away to keep them safe.

1st person perspective not advertised

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2021

Verified Purchase

Real simple, would never have downloaded had I known.

I appreciate the author having a rating system telling you what's in the book AFTER you already get it....

I'm just really really disenfranchised with this whole coy movement where no one tells you anything about the book so you can make an informed decision.

Never will I ever read a 1st person perspective book. Ever. They try to impose someone else's thought structure as my own and I incredibly dislike it. This is why I like having the ability to thumb through a book first.

If I had been in a store this would've been placed immediately back on the shelf once I opened and saw the style.

Really getting disenfranchised by Amazon Kindle as a whole these days. You're ruining the market.

Bait and switch! ZOMBIE book.

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

The book starts out well enough. I always read the "Look inside" but lately, after the intro, the books on Amazon take a sharp direction change. This book, in my opinion, suddenly becomes a zombie book. Stopped reading as soon as the first bitten person starts changing!

What’s for dinner?

Sometimes life just sucks, the future is not always brighter. Down on his luck with robots replacing the work force, Chris decides to ask for a raise from his employer, in one of the few jobs left to actual people. After caring for this family for over 10 years as a bodyguard, he too finds himself replaced by robots. How is he going to tell his wife about this? Then his vehicle, one of the few internal combustion engines left, starts acting up. Picking his wife up from work and heading home, they see strange lights in the sky. Explosions erupt as a arial battle is clearly taking. Suddenly a bright, blinding light flashes behind them. After the shock of this wears off, he realizes that L.A. has just been Nuked!

Arriving home, he finds his mother and children watching the news broadcast describing an Alien Invasion taking place in L.A. and the surrounding area. Running outside he looks up and sees Alien craft flying across the sky, dropping bombs on the neighborhoods.

And this is just the first few pages of this gripping story of an Alien Arrival. To find out what happens next and what these Aliens want you will have to sit down and read. Be forewarned, you will find this book hard to put down.

What comes after the Arrival?

Arrival (The Kyron Invasion)

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

I found this book to be a departure from the many of Jasper Scott books that I read. The storyline was very good, content and characters were as usual - excellent. The departure I mentioned is a slightly different storyline style, which in this case is very good. I’ll leave it at that and simply recommend that you read the book.

Aliens conquer earth in just three days - 4.5 stars

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2022

Verified Purchase

The day that Chris Randall gets fired as the personal security force for the Pearson family is the day that the aliens arrive. There are three groups of aliens who arrive in massive spaceships destroying all of the world's major population centers including Los Angeles where Chris and his family reside. While the year is 2150 and the world has sent out explorations but no humans have witnessed the technology that the aliens have including super-fast travel and invisibility.

When the Southern Californians realize that there is an invasion and try to head for the hills, their save-their-family plans are effective as an EMP pulse disables all vehicles. Sometimes the un-lug/plug-back-in strategy works so a few people can move out. The aliens who appear to be flocks of birds from a distance easily find and eliminate most resistance. Some aliens who look like hippopotamuses with laser weapons and sharp teeth "clean up" many of the stragglers. The leaders of the united world are captured; those who live have strings attached and a strange helmet. They encourage everyone not to resist.

In the space of a few days, a virus changes people into a different life form - not as attractive in appearance, strength and beliefs as when they were humans - devastating to other family members. Their ear stalks are off-putting and their new diet of raw meat - human or other - is frighting. The adults of the Randall and Pearson family try to survive; this is the basis of the first book of the Kyron Invasion.

Chris Randall, who used to be a space soldier until robots took over his job, almost single-handedly protects, the combined families. Soldiering through the pain of laser burns and broken ribs, Chris does an admirable job of defending his extended family as they try to avoid detection. This sets up a military science fiction sequence that can't be satisfied with just book one. Readers should plan to sign up for the exciting, quick-moving series. In spite of the technology, the human reactions make the actions seem credible.

The Invasion

Chris, former military, is struggling to make ends meet in a future that doesn’t seem to far from today. Married with two kids, he’s doing all he can in a world where humans are quickly replaced with our robotic counterparts.

After his thoughts on a raise from his employer are crushed, it’s an especially long ride to pick up his wife from her hostess job in their ancient truck. He breaks the news to her and with a severance, it still means hard times are ahead. Home is supposed to be your sanctuary but when objects enter our atmosphere and start destroying the cities, Chris knows it’s time to get out of dodge. So begins the terrorizing Kyron invasion and the birth of the resistance.

OK but very cliched

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2022

Verified Purchase

It was quite a good story but it did suffer from cliched characters. Most of the characters appeared in my head as actors from films and TV who played similar roles. For instance, take Chris. He is well described physically but his character is like many seen on the big screen. Imagine The Rock (not in looks) in Skyscraper or San Andreas and you have a dad with a military background rushing around saving the family from overwhelming odds. That's Chris.
If the people who made the film "Jack Reacher" with Tom Cruise in the leading role, wanted to make this film, then Dwayne Johnson would be top of their hiring list.
The alien invasion is not particularly unique, but is otherwise quite well done. The aliens themselves are nothing special except in their prioritization of what needs to be attacked. A lot of effort on day 2 of world domination goes into chasing a few pretty ordinary adults and their children in the middle of nowhere. As for the DNA changing infection - planning to arrive on a planet and infect the population by biting them seems a technologically stunted approach. Zombaliens......
If the aliens are a bit daft, then it's a good thing they are only after daft humans. Our survivors live in a logic free environment where the expectation of evading the alien attack craft by switching your lights off seemed unreasonably optimistic, applying quarantine protocols to alien infected people and not those carrying them around for hours and the intermittent EMP that ruined far less electronic goods than in your regular apocalypse. At one point they talk about scavenging for supplies, but when they move from one house to another, they don't take any of their current supplies with them. Americans are renowned as wasteful.
Generally, the characterisation was pretty shallow (this may be resolved in the sequels) and for all Chris's dashing around and shooting, I failed to care about the various victims that fell under Chris's responsibility.
In summary; it wasn't bad, but it wasn't exciting or particularly interesting and, for me, relied on playing out the familiar in slightly unusual settings.
If I can get a free copy of book 2 (as advertised at the end of this book) I will, else I won't spend any more money on this superdad story.

Non stop action

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story unfolds at breakneck pace from a first person perspective. Very engaging, although it will be interesting to see how it progresses especially as the aliens have such a technological advantage. Was a bit disaapointed by the 'don't get bitten to avoid being changed into a hybrid' element - worryingly close to zombie stories which I personally detest. Good potential for translation to film. Looking forward to the next installment.

Whilst this is a book based on another series of books it is completely stand alone. The invasion of earth is so fast it is over before you know it. But then people look to survive as the sweep up afterwards begins. With the characters quickly established survival is paramount..
What happens next? Find out in the next book.

Action-filled sci-fi alien invasion plot

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

Whilst the premise of alien invasion isn't new and I'm not a huge fan of first person narrative, by the end of chapter one, I was hooked. So as not to give any spoilers, I will just say that I am keen to find out what happens to the key characters and discover the greater purpose of the alien invaders. The narrative is pacey maintaining interest whilst unresolved questions onto ue the drive to turn the pages.
