Synopsis

In a world where aliens walk among us, trust is the rarest commodity. After an explosive incident at Area 51, reports of strange creature sightings in the western United States skyrocketed. In response, the U.S. government created the Department of Extraterrestrial and Alien Defense–D.E.A.D. for short. For Dr. Maeve Leander and her unusual family, this new agency spells danger. Having escaped Area 51 with her loved ones, Maeve suspects the safety net provided by the President will only be short-lived. Forced to flee, Maeve gathers new allies in the fight for her family’s survival. But with each new face comes a new threat, and Maeve finds herself questioning everyone’s motives. Why are these strangers risking everything to help them? What do they really want? And most importantly, can Maeve trust them with the lives of Alvie and the triplets? In all the uncertainty, Maeve is sure of only one thing: she will do everything in her power to keep her family safe. But with the full might of the government against her, the odds of survival seem impossibly slim. R.D. Brady’s D.E.A.D. , the second installment in The A.L.I.V.E. series plunges readers into a heart-pounding alternate history where genetic engineering and alien encounters collide, testing the limits of human resilience and maternal love. ________________________________________________________________________ Praise for The A.L.I.V.E.
