Description
She vanished without a trace. Now she’s back—and the world has changed beyond recognition.
Nira Ferguson was just a teenager when she disappeared. Now, her name fuels rebellion and draws the attention of powerful enemies. Earth is fractured—ruled by hidden hands and familiar faces.
The enemy walks among us, cloaked in trust. Truth is a weapon. And Nira's either the spark of salvation… or the final nail in humanity’s coffin.
The Unexpected Arrival is a pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller about memory, identity, and the cost of becoming a symbol in someone else’s war.
Already loved as a short story—now fully expanded into a cinematic debut.

Kathryn M, Reviewer
this was a strong opening chapter to the Unexpected Arrival series, it had that alien elements that I was hoping for and enjoyed from this type of book. It was a unique concept and worked with the world that was going on. The characters had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed from this type of book. Anita Osasona wrote this well and left me wanting more, as I was engaged with the romance and how it was used in the fantasy world elements.
JOANNA S, Reviewer
I like this book,pure sci-fi and action.Told from few POV,it's fast read,and sometimes to fast,have to switch fast to other character,still I could not put the book down.Non stop something happend in this book .
Would like to see Nira's journey continue.Would resistance win against aliens,
or will human become batteries for them?
I recommend this book for sci-fi fans.
Thank you Netgalley and publisher for ARC.
