DNA

When archeologist Mya Austin uncovers a perfectly preserved human skeleton in a Colorado cave, geneticist Zane Kinkaid makes a shocking discovery: the woman has zero Neanderthal markers, an entirely new lineage of humans, and the mysterious GC117 gene found only in the world's brightest minds. But there's a second secret waiting in the ancient murals—legends of a vanishing stone that returns once every 25,000 years. And this year, it's back. As geophysicist Alex Cave joins Mya at the dig site, an alien transport cube appears above the mountain, bringing Vesta, a visitor with a warning: a comet is coming, and only a select group of humans can be saved. Genetic testing begins worldwide, revealing a second unknown marker—the GC118 gene—and an even stranger anomaly tied to Alex himself. With panic spreading across the globe and fighting between those chosen and those rejected, governments lose control, and alien agendas collide with human fear. Alex must confront the truth about humanity's origins, the purpose of the GC117 lineage, and his own connection to a forgotten race. Alex becomes entangled in a conspiracy stretching back 25,000 years—one involving advanced alien visitors, genetic engineering, and a new human colony waiting beyond Earth. Joined by his trusted friend Okawna, Alex uncovers fractures in the visitors' story—and a dangerous truth buried beneath their promises. With time running out and the world inching toward collapse, Alex must decide whether to expose the alien agenda or find a way to save humanity before the stars themselves turn against them.
