Epic Tales & Stuff
I am not normally a fan of books involving aliens and conspiracy theories and so on… after just a couple of chapters, I was completely hooked, and I can honestly say… I LOVE THIS BOOK! I recommend it to everyone out there if they want an interesting, suspenseful, and compelling story, even one that is full of aliens and conspiracies.

What makes this book stand apart is the proficient way in which the author integrates a heart-wrenching emotional story with a grand-scale plot. The reader is taken on a roller-coaster ride, continuously doubting loyalties, deciphering hints, and uncovering enigmas. The plot is intricately layered, unveiling startling revelations at every turn, and keeping us guessing and assuming until the very last.

I didn’t expect The Disappeared by JD Adler to develop the way it did… I felt part of an epic adventure that could easily fill a season of a cool science fiction adventure TV series… One thing’s sure—you won’t get bored with this novel. It’s pretty awesome!

Chapter 1: Prey
running
through the trees
long
slender
sweaty legs
in big brown hiking boots
heart
pounding
panic
breathing
mind
racing
frightened, focused, excited
eyes simultaneously seeking
paths before
predator behind
wanting
hunting
closer all the time
She cuts left
brown cargos, green shirt
camouflage by GAP
but the backpack
the Yellow Pack
with a Simple Smiley Face
Bright Beacon
in the Darkened Wood
It is this they pursue
not the messenger
still her fate no better
for resisting the Master
She will feel
the Cruel Wrath
should The Hunters catch her
