When the lights go out, humanity’s final test begins.
THE NIGHT EVERYTHING CHANGED
Communications Specialist Xal Robinson has the best view in the solar system—until he watches every light on Earth disappear. Not a power grid failure. Not a natural disaster. Something far worse.
While Xal orbits in the secret military space station Dark Specter 1, his parents fight for survival in an underground bunker as a “smart virus” systematically eliminates humanity—while leaving Earth’s ecosystems perfectly intact.
Someone has decided the planet is worth saving. Just not the people on it.
ONE LIE. ONE CHOICE. ONE CHANCE.
When an alien infiltrator takes control of his space station, Xal faces an impossible situation:
- His commanding officer is murdered before his eyes
- A shapeshifting enemy walks among his crew, undetected
- Earth’s population faces extinction within days
- His parents are trapped in a contaminated world with no way out
The alien gives him 48 hours to convince his crew to surrender—or watch them die like his commander.
But Xal Robinson wasn’t trained to give up. And he won’t start now.

THE QUESTION THAT WILL DEFINE HUMANITY’S FUTURE
Does Earth need humans to survive? Or are we the virus that needs to be eliminated?
Xal Robinson will have to answer that question—and his response will determine whether his species has a future at all.
ECOLOGICAL PRESERVATION VS. HUMAN DOMINANCE
In a world where following orders might mean extinction, one communications specialist must learn that true leadership isn’t about rank or protocol—it’s about taking responsibility when no one else will.
The countdown has begun. The virus is spreading. And the only thing standing between humanity and extinction is a 25-year-old spaceman who just learned that survival means breaking every rule he was taught to follow.
