Befallen was awarded “Best First Sentence” by New York Times international bestselling author Steve Berry, and won a special book critique by thriller master John Lescroart.

On May 23, 1962, the world ended. We call it the Day of Reckoning. It’s a day we remember by asking ourselves what if?​

​

​

What if we’re not alone?

 U.S. Army journalist, Nathaniel Free, combines his military experience with
