The Wrong Human to Abduct

First Contact Survival Thriller For alien field operative Sira Vek, abducting humans is routine. Take the subject. Run the tests. Erase the memory. Return them home before sunrise. Then her ship falls out of the sky. Stranded on a classified death world with no rescue coming, Sira is left with a shattered hand, a dying vessel, and one last option she was never meant to use. She wakes the human in stasis.
That is when she realizes she has made a terrible mistake. Rylan Creed is not weak, confused, or easy to control. He is sharp, furious, and far more dangerous than her files ever suggested. Worse, he may be the only reason either of them survives. Their only hope is a desperate trek across a brutal alien landscape toward the signal of a wrecked ship that crashed years before them. But the planet is alive with horrors neither of them understands.
Every mile pushes them closer to something far worse than death. And the more Sira learns about the man she stole from Earth, the clearer it becomes that he was never meant to be a test subject. He was the wrong human to abduct. Now hunter and captive must become uneasy allies in a race across a hostile world where trust is a risk, survival is never guaranteed, and first contact could become humanity's greatest threat.
