Sylo

Soldiers parachute out of military helicopters onto Pemberwick Island, Maine, the hometown of Tucker Pierce. They call themselves SYLO and belong to a secret branch of the U.S. Navy. Their commander, Captain Granger, tells the residents that a lethal virus has hit the island and that it must be quarantined.

Pemberwick is now cut off from the outside world. Tucker does not accept the official account, because he has seen things that do not fit it.

He was nearby when the high school running back dropped dead with no warning. He watched a strange explosion over the ocean at midnight, and he has seen aircraft that sing as they move through the night sky like shadows.

Tucker has also tasted the Ruby and felt the powers it gave him. SYLO offers no explanation for any of this, and Tucker holds the clues that could solve the mystery.

This is the first book in an end-of-the-world conspiracy trilogy, written as an action-driven thriller. Pemberwick is only the first stop.
