The Aurora Revelations - by Michael Walker (Paperback)

About the Book

An unconscious man lies in Chaco Canyon National Park, covered in blood not his own, near a backpack stuffed with baffling documents. Some recount the crash of an "airship" in Aurora, Texas in 1897, whose alien pilot was buried in the local cemetery. Others trace the frantic journey of a ragtag quartet of paranormal investigators, the "Nerd Legion," to find their friend, supernatural sleuth Kevin Starkly, who vanished while hunting the Jersey Devil in 2015. Throughout the found chronicle, one phrase emerges like a warning bell: "The pilot has awakened." What did Starkly find out about the Aurora UFO, and has he paid a terrible price for his curiosity?
Join the irascible twenty-somethings of the Nerd Legion on a quest across haunted America to find the truth, and their missing friend, as they stumble into a terrifying conspiracy and must fight for their lives against a ghastly enemy. Like a grown-up Stranger Things on a cursed road trip, or The X-Files with no FBI boss and no filter, the harrowing exploits in The Aurora Revelations will captivate fans of paranormal thrills, mystery, and supernatural suspense.

Book Synopsis

In April 1897, a strange airship crashed in Aurora, Texas and the "unearthly" pilot was buried in the local cemetery. Today, the pilot finally awakened. God help us all.
In July 2015, supernatural sleuth Kevin Starkly disappeared mysteriously in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. What secrets did he uncover about the Aurora UFO crash, and has he paid a terrible price for his curiosity?
Four twenty-something paranormal investigators, a self-styled "Nerd Legion," --Tony Fermia (a psychic who talks to ghosts in his dreams), John Walters (an art curator), Rich Harrigan (a skeptical science teacher), and Angel McQueen (an alien abductee and Tony's high-school crush)--travel across a haunted America searching for their old friend Starkly. The group soon find themselves entangled in a terrifying conspiracy to resurrect the alien pilot--a plot that brings them face-to-face with a ghastly enemy and has them fighting for their lives and for the future of humanity.
Like a grown-up Stranger Things on a cursed road trip, or The X-Files with no FBI boss and no filter, the harrowing exploits in The Aurora Revelations will captivate readers of Paul Tremblay, Dan Simmons, Edgar Cantero, or any fans of paranormal thrills, mystery, and supernatural suspense.
