Synopsis:
THE NOVEL BASED ON THE DEBUT SCIENCE FICTION PODCAST FROM TOR LABS
Dakota “Dak” Prentiss guards the biggest secret in the world.
They call it “Moss.” It’s your standard grey alien from innumerable abduction stories. Moss still sits at what looks like the controls of the spaceship it crash-landed twenty-five years ago. A secret military base was built around the crash site to study both Moss and the dangerous technology it brought to Earth.
The day Matt Salem joins her security team, Dak’s whole world changes.
It’s love at first sight—which is a problem, since they both signed ironclad contracts before joining the base security team, vowing not to fraternize with other military personnel. If they run away, they’ll be hunted for the secret they know. So Dak and Matt decide to escape to a better life on the wings of an incredibly dangerous plan: They’re going to steal the alien body they've been guarding and sell the secret of its existence.
And they can’t afford a single mistake.

In an epic final showdown in the Texas desert – as Sierra closes in from all sides – Dak and Matt finally learn the truth about Moss.
THAT’ S NOT my last real
memory of the woman that was Dak, but it’s certainly the most representative. And like I said, by some point the next morning,
that life was over.
And
like I said, it’s all your fault.
But I’m not mad at you. Not for ending that life, at least. That life wasn’t all that spectacular to begin with.
Besides, here’s something people have said about the end: sometimes paradise
is waiting on the other side.
It might only last a few moments. It might take a whole
lotta hell to get there. But it’s there.
So let’s fucking get to it already.
