Provisional - C Lowry

A Near-Future Alien Invasion Thriller

The aliens never landed.

They never attacked.

They just arrived... somewhere above the world.

And everything changed.

When governments across the globe begin issuing emergency broadcasts, the official explanation is simple: an unidentified extraterrestrial presence has entered Earth's orbit. No communication. No demands. No visible ships.

Just a silent threat hanging over the planet.

Within weeks, supply chains collapse. Ration systems replace grocery stores. Military briefings become daily ritual. Every news broadcast carries the same unsettling message:

Remain calm. Await further instructions.

Ray Peoples and Declan Maguire are just two ordinary men trying to navigate the slow unraveling of normal life. They watch the government updates. They file their provision requests. They trade food credits and try not to think about what might be watching from above.

But the longer the silence lasts, the worse the truth becomes.

Because the world's governments aren't preparing for diplomacy.

They're preparing for something else.

Something they refuse to explain.

As tensions rise and the system begins to crack, Ray and Declan realize the official story may only be part of the truth-and that the real danger may already be closer than anyone wants to admit.

And when humanity finally learns why the visitors came...

it may already be too late.

If you enjoy high-tension science fiction where the terror lies in the unknown, PROVISIONAL will keep you turning pages long after the broadcasts go dark.
