The Unreturned

ABOUT THE

For hundreds of years, unseen aliens have abducted humans from their homes, leaving no trace of their existence behind. When they abduct his sister, David Paxton joins the Space Fleet. Out on patrol, he becomes the first person to see an alien ship and while attempting to shoot it down, accidentally kills his wing man and best friend.

Then, the abductions stop. The aliens communicate their intentions to return all living persons and never abduct a human again. Thousands of people come home. But some, including Paxton's sister, never return. Fifteen years later, Paxton never gives up hope that his sister is alive and being held by the aliens.

When a deep space outpost detects evidence of the unseen aliens and finally pinpoints the location of the former prison planet--complete with signs of human life--the discovery sets off a chain of events that will ultimately unravel the narrative of the past two centuries as Paxton races to uncover the horrible truth behind what really happened to the Unreturned.
