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.

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?

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2022

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frightening in its entirety.
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2023

The writer clearly has a vivid imagination and writes with frightening clarity. The story is complex, well written, yet leaving you with a feeling of overwhelming fear. Fear of the unknown can grip anyone with a bit of imagination and although I can not say what caused me to choose this book, I can say that I am looking forward to reading the sequel. If you don’t like science fiction with a smattering of possible reality slipped in then this book might not be for you. Very well written with well developed characters.

3.0 out of 5 stars pass with a push
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2023

Lots of things could have been done better to lay the ground work of future installments. We got the “who” and “what” answered in this first book but not the . why” and only a part of the “where”. A good series writer needs to answer all these questions skillfully in the first installment of his story. The remaining installments should elaborate on these answers and surprise the reader. Done correctly, the reader wants to read on. Done incorrectly, and the reader’s interest waned because there is no closure for the first installment. Given this, I cannot recommend this book as anything but a stand alone with its generous load of action and general mayhem that would ensue following an alien invasion with superior technology. So…3 out of 5 stars, a definite PWAP. 🫣

4.0 out of 5 stars Familiar but fun
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023

If you've played the PlayStation game RESISTANCE, this first entry in the KYRON INVASION series will feel familiar -- and not in a bad way. This fast-moving story covers the first four days of an alien invasion of near-future Earth. Two families must navigate this frightening scenario as they flee the battle-ravaged Los Angeles metro area for the mountains, only to find that several alien species have made their way to this remote setting, too, with a few revelations about their plans for the human race. While character development isn't a high priority, the action certainly never lets up and you'll find yourself racing through each chapter to see what happens next.

I started with the Dark Space series and have been hooked ever since. He is no longer an up-and-coming author, but now a well-established one. I also feel a part of that book as I made some suggestions on the beta and he actually incorporated one of them in the final book!
Anyway, this is a classic invasion book that does not waste much time getting into the action. There are new twists and turns near the end, leaving me anxious for book 2! Don't get too attached to some of the characters, you never know who is next to die!

Fast moving action with plenty of unexpected twists and turns. A little hard to believe the principle character can keep going with all the injuries he suffers but it is a great story. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series to find out how the story evolves.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting new take on an old theme
Reviewed in Australia on November 19, 2021

J T Scott has written a book about alien invasion and the indomitable spirit of humans refusing to sit back and being absorbed into a new Federation. The main (almost only) characters are two families from opposite ends of the human hierarchy, one just barely making by, the other very rich. What happens in the interplay between the two families during the course of events would make an interesting study of itself, but survival under the reign of ‘Demons’ and ‘Behemoths’ is enough to keep us enthralled. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Really enjoyed this. Great pacing, interesting characters and some fun sci-fi elements. Maybe a touch gun-focused (descriptions of all the guns and ammo like so many authors seem to do), and a bit videogamey at times. But still, very recommended!
