The Arrival (Annihilation Book 1) Kindle Edition
On New Year's eve 2022, unknown flying objects appear over Europe and ignite an inferno of violence among themselves. Debris from one of the spacecraft falls on Athens, turning the city center into a smoking crater.
The destroyed remnant of the former metropolis is declared a restricted zone by NATO forces and sealed off. Amidst the few survivors struggling for food, medicine, and clean water, Nikos takes care of his girlfriend Maria, only to soon find out that to avert a creeping death, there is only one way out of the hell of Athens—the wreckage of the alien ship.
At the same time, a special forces team is sent on an impossible mission, as NATO's European Command has evidence that another spaceship has landed in the jungles of Africa and its Alien crew appears to still be alive...
Don't miss Bestseller Joshua T. Calvert's next Science Fiction epic. A story of survival, invasion, and war that's perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Joshua Dalzelle, and S.M. Anderson.

About the author
Joshua T. Calvert is an award-winning author whose books have sold more than one million copies. He has traveled the world—on foot, by Jeep, by bicycle, by motorcycle, and lots of other ways besides. As you might imagine, he’s seen many things most people never see – including an Iranian prison cell, from the inside! In Kyrgyzstan, he fared slightly better, narrowly avoiding being kidnapped for ransom. Skydiver, scuba diver, martial artist, adventurer – his goal is to experience everything possible, and then make it real to you in his books. And he’s made a good run of it so far: in the Philippines, he did police training on multiple types of firearms (despite being no fan of guns himself); dove in Asian waters among sharks and shipwrecks; and patrolled with Sumatran jungle rangers.
That’s what defines Calvert’s approach to method writing: pushing himself beyond his own limits, to experience first-hand what his characters experience, to make your immersion in his stories as deep as it can be.
For Ganymede Rises, after a slight detour with some smugglers in the deserts of Uzbekistan and the steppes of Mongolia, he traveled by dogsled and snowshoe to the Arctic Circle to experience first-hand what it’s like to be utterly isolated in the coldest place on Earth. For his book The Fossil, he sat with professional pilots in flight simulators for Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft to learn what it’s like to fly a passenger jet. His latest adventure: a parabolic flight with European Space Agency astronauts, to experience zero-gravity. All so he can describe it to you, in his own words.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
As you can tell I am not a professional reviewer. I was not asked by the author to write a review. I am just a plain old Kindle reader.
The reason for the 4 star rating was only for the jumps in the story to future parts in the story that would give me pause to go back to see what I missed only to find out I didn't miss anything but I was placed a few weeks or months into the story without being directed there till later in the chapter.
All in all a great read. Go for it. I think you will enjoy this story.
As I have said, what a story. The main characters are all beyond tough and committed to their mission and comrades, even the civilian proved his gumption by carrying Jacek out of an
incredible difficult and life threatening situation, despite his right arms' bicep tendon being torn, rendering the arm useless. I cannot wait for the rest of the story to unfold.

Apologies Calvert.
All I can say is that I read it all hoping it would get better and it didn’t. It struggled to…become…anything!
Instead it was a hodge podge of running, fighting and struggle with minimal storylines that went nowhere.
Glad it was cheap.
