Dissonance: Reality (Dissonance Book 1)

Description

Sergeant Cameron “Jet” Shipley was only six years old when the aliens silently drifted down through Earth’s skies in 2026. 16 years later, humanity is painfully familiar with one simple, agonizing, and inescapable truth:

One look, and it’s all over.

Terror lurks around every corner, and the rules of survival are simple: stay quiet, move quickly, and don’t ever look. It’s a post-apocalyptic Earth in 2042, and 85% of humanity has been annihilated by “gorgons”: horrific aliens with the ability to telepathically paralyze and then consume their prey, leaving the victims to feel every agonizing bite. Mostly impervious and nearly impossible to kill, the best defense against them is simply to run. One look, and it’s all over.

Brothers Jet and Rutty are part of an underground military bunker in Clarksville, Tennessee that provides shelter, training, and solace to those willing to fight back. But when a new recruit joins their ranks and reveals a secret that could change everything, Jet is faced with a difficult decision: follow orders, or fight for the truth? As the brothers navigate a dangerous dystopian world filled with gorgons and treachery, they must confront the ultimate question—who can they trust?
