Nathan Hystad Books in Order

A year after the invasion, Dean is trying to live with what happened. Then two escaped hybrids force him and the Heroes of Earth into another chase across the galaxy.

Dean reaches New Spero hoping for a fresh start, only to uncover an ancient secret in the mountains. When Earth goes silent, he realizes an old enemy has arrived.

Dean wants a quieter life on New Spero, but a warning from the Bhlat says the past is not done yet. To stop Lom of Pleva and whatever survived before, he may need allies he cannot fully trust.

A fading horror writer returns to his hometown and finds a missing boy, a haunted orchard, and memories he no longer trusts. Whatever dark thing hangs over Red Creek has been waiting for him.

With peace bought at a steep price, Dean and Mary begin exploring worlds linked by portals. What they find points toward the vanished Theos and a threat large enough to undo everything.

Alien ships arrive just after Dean Parker's dead wife leaves him one final warning. Wearing the necklace she told him to trust, he becomes one of the few left behind and follows her clues toward humanity's last chance.

Dean's closest ally is taken by an ancient race, and grief pushes him toward obsession. To get them back, he must solve the mystery of the real Theos before the universe pays the price.

Captain Thomas Baldwin takes command of the *Constantine* and walks straight into a deadly first mission. When an old enemy resurfaces, one wrong move could drag the Concord back into war.

Reporter Eva Heart returns to a town famous for UFO sightings and to the mystery of her own childhood disappearance. The deeper she digs, the harder it becomes to keep her real identity buried.

A distress call from the Keppe drags Dean out of retirement and into a rescue mission for Magnus and Natalia. Failing portals and a broken drive strand the crew far from home.

Magnus takes command of humanity's first hybrid exploration ship, *Horizon*. The mission should be discovery, but a strange station and a looming invasion give the voyage sharper stakes.

Dean returns to Earth and finds humans fighting over what the rebuilt planet should become. At the same time, Jules and Slate are stranded on a strange world with unstable portals and unknown enemies.

After brutal time dilation, the *Eureka* returns to a changed Sol system. To win the war for Earth, the crew must rescue one of their own and trust an old enemy.

Ten years later, Red Creek is still under the shadow's grip. When another girl vanishes, Paul, his daughter Taylor, and Detective Tom Bartlett have to face the curse all over again.

The crew of the *Eureka* crosses the Rift and finds a colony world already in trouble. Crash landings, betrayal, and a dangerous plan against the Watchers push the war into a new phase.

Earth Fleet knows something deadly waits beyond the Rift, but humanity has been kept in the dark. Ace, Flint, and Wren are pulled into a secret plan just as invasion becomes inevitable.

Jules Parker is training with the next generation of Gatekeepers when the Kold threat closes in. Betrayal from someone trusted puts the Academy itself in the line of fire.

Portals are collapsing, Gatekeepers are trapped, and Dean is forced back into the field. A rescue mission becomes far more dangerous when sabotage turns every return trip into a gamble.

The survivors reach Eden expecting a new start, then crash into a dangerous valley full of secrets. With Lewis Hound missing, Andrew and Kendra begin to suspect their rescue came with a lie attached.

With the Concord briefly stabilized, Baldwin heads back toward the Statu system with a new fleet. The war that shaped his grandfather's legend now falls to him to finish.

Andrew and Kendra know Eden is no paradise, especially under the Reverend's growing control. Their plan to flee the colony could bring freedom, if the truth about their new world does not kill them first.

As natural disasters and mass disappearances spread across America, Agent Kendra Baker and ex-Marine Andrew Miller chase the same mystery for different reasons. One needs answers. The other wants his daughter back.

Victory brings promotions, new ships, and new strain across the crew. But a colony-world mission and a painful betrayal prove peace is never simple in Concord space.

As the biggest war in Concord history begins, Admiral Baldwin and his allies are pulled in different directions. New life, divided loyalties, and desperate choices shape the end of an era.

Tom Baldwin moves into the political center of the Concord while his old crew faces danger without him. At the same time, Treena's path toward the fabled Earth raises new questions about human origins.

With one old enemy beaten, Dean and Jules finally have room to look ahead. Then clues inside Slate hint that another alien danger is already closer than anyone thinks.

Dean now captains the Alliance ship *Light*, and Jules joins him as a newly graduated Gatekeeper. Escorting Brik to his distant home sounds simple, which usually means trouble.

Twenty-five years after aliens conquered Earth, factory worker Alec gets a chance to escape. His path collides with other survivors, a hunter serving the occupiers, and a resistance ready to rise.

Dean follows clues to a hidden treasure that might stop Lom of Pleva. Meanwhile Jules is pulled toward her own kind, and the plan to stop disaster may require destroying a world.

A failed attack sparks something larger than victory, a global revolt. From the UK to Shanghai and beyond, the resistance makes one last push to break the Overseers for good.

With vital intelligence in hand, the Reclaimers spread out to recruit allies and strike hidden targets. Every mission carries new risk, especially for those still pretending loyalty to the Occupation.

After betrayal fractures the team, Jules vanishes and Dean is left scrambling to regroup. Ancient gods, birthright, and Alliance trouble all collide in a family fight against Lom of Pleva.

A homicide detective reunites with childhood friends at a remote mansion and starts reading a manuscript that mirrors their past. When a long-hidden body turns up, fiction and memory collide.

The Concord is reeling, border wars are worsening, and Baldwin must seek help from distant allies. His crew stays united, but the mission may test them harder than anything so far.

Anthropology professor Rex Walker follows a clue tied to his father's disappearance and stumbles into a much older mystery. With a billionaire and a loyal protégé beside him, he begins hunting the legendary Bridge.

Earth is under attack, and Rex has no time left for doubt. He and his allies must stop the Believers, save those closest to him, and keep civilization from collapsing.

Rex opens the Bridge and learns the mystery is much bigger than he imagined. As a cult grows bolder and a second Bridge enters play, he races to stop a catastrophic arrival.

Dean is pulled into a chase across manufactured portals after the Planner and a second Recaster. As Jules follows the same threat from another angle, the Alliance edges toward fracture.

Dean goes looking for a kidnapped friend and discovers the truth may be worse than the abduction. Jules helps train the next wave of Alliance students while new lies pile onto old ones.

The race is over, and survival is the new prize. Arlo and an old rival chase allies across space, then fight to bring home information Earth desperately needs.

Arlo Lewis is pulled back into competition when he is chosen to lead SeaTech's team in a high-stakes race for Proxima. Winning could change everything, if revolution does not reach the finish line first.

Earth is running out of time. As invasion closes in, Arlo must choose between friends, family, and the hard decisions that could save humanity or finish it.

Something inside Dean has changed, and he cannot ignore it. While he fights for footing on Ebos, Jules faces an escaped criminal and a trap spreading through the Alliance.

Colton Beck has months to live and decides that is reason enough to chase the impossible. His trip through the River to the colony world Dicore opens a far stranger life than he expected.

Colton's survival brings no peace. As his origins, loyalties, and the River itself grow harder to understand, he and his allies must stop a threat that reaches back toward Earth.

The Visitors are gone, but the Glass are still moving. As survivors regroup from California to Tucson, alternate Earths, time travel, and buried truths turn the aftermath into a new crisis.

Invisible barriers appear across the world, and several strangers are drawn toward the mystery. As panic spreads and creatures emerge, they need answers before the Glass change everything.

Dean is no longer the Recaster, but he is far from finished. A rapidly expanding portal network and a mission to help a distant race push him back into danger and old emotions.

Colton has saved the Rusa, but peace does not last. A request for help sends him after the hidden Ministry of Realms and one more enemy waiting deep inside the River.

Sarlun is gone, Shimmal is unstable, and Jules realizes bringing him back may be the only path forward. Their separate hunts collide with dangerous consequences.

With the truth about the Angor exposed, Colton tries to rebuild the Rusa and protect a fragile alliance. A secret world and a second colony promise answers, but they come at a steep cost.

The survivors split up to stop new Rings and the spreading Static before Earth changes beyond repair. Every road seems to lead back to New York, where the disaster first began.

Wyatt heads for a reunion that may already be too late, while Blaze pushes deeper south to shut the Rings down. Luna crosses a hostile country as the world's older secrets begin to surface.

A breakthrough energy project tears the world open instead of saving it. Wyatt and Luna flee a broken New York as creatures rise from the deep and the planet starts coming apart.

A year after Bell Island, Elliot is summoned to Seattle by a cryptic message from Buzz. There he finds missing allies, murdered Sphere hosts, and a citywide hunt that is much worse than a serial killer.

Back on Bell Island in the summer of 1984, Elliot expects a rough season, not an alien attack. With friends, a waitress, and a strange soldier beside him, he fights to protect the island.

The Travelers stop hiding, and Earth can no longer pretend aliens are a rumor. Elliot and his friends are pushed into a last-ditch mission just as betrayal cuts close to home.

Jules is supposed to be getting married, but the universe has other plans. A drifting ship, a mysterious entity, and a dangerous lineage pull the Alliance into another crisis.

The settlers in Tucson know invasion is coming. Their only hope may be a forgotten military base, if they can reach it and find something strong enough to end the Glass for good.

After his astronaut grandfather is murdered, Silas uncovers hidden tokens tied to the Moon and a long-buried secret. Rory and Agent Waylen Brooks are drawn into the same deadly hunt.

Jules races to stop a devastating new weapon growing under the Alliance's nose. At the same time, Dean's search through old history uncovers a secret large enough to change reality.

Rory follows the mystery to the Moon, Silas and Cody probe a secret lab, and Waylen's trust is shattered by betrayal. The tokens are pointing toward something much larger than a family secret.

Caesar and Anders go looking for the one man who may be able to get them home. While they cross dangerous Arcadia, Amelia is left to keep order in a town full of new secrets.

An undercover operative enters Carmichael with a countdown on his phone, and a deputy arrives expecting a routine assignment. Before long the whole town has vanished, and nobody understands where it went.

Consequences catch up with Jules and Dean when a new crisis hits the Alliance. Old choices refuse to stay contained, and the family is pulled into another turning point.

Waylen is tasked with stopping an alien incursion without letting the world know. Rory and Silas keep chasing the Shadow, and old deceptions finally come due.

Some of Carmichael makes it home and some of it does not. As both worlds try to start over, Caesar and Amelia are recruited to bridge the growing gap between Earth and Arcadia.

Lost Town is rebuilding, but three months cut off from Earth has not made it safer. Amelia, Anders, and Summer uncover new alien threats just as a larger invasion begins to take shape.

The vanished colony ship *Excursion One* suddenly reappears near Saturn, empty except for clues. Calvin Brooks, Jane Vanderbilt, and Luke Dalton each get pulled toward the mystery of Ethos and the wormhole called the Link.

The Shift is closed, and Lost Town must learn how to survive on Arcadia for good. Ancient ruins, new maps, and sudden tragedy show that starting over will not come easy.

Milton's war is closing on Lost Town, forcing Caesar and Amelia onto separate missions to protect their people. At the same time, Harrison heads to Earth hoping to save Arcadia's stranded.

War closes in on Ethos, and shutting down the Link may be humanity's only chance. Calvin, Luke, and Jane each face a different piece of the same invasion.

Dean is learning how to be a grandfather just as Jules settles into life as a new mother. Celebration does not last long when the universe starts signaling that balance comes with a cost.

Jules takes Star on a mission tied to the Messenger while Dean and Karo search for the lost Theos. Family, bloodline, and duty all start pulling in different directions.

The crew reaches Ethos, but the colonists are nowhere to be found. Calvin questions everything he served, Jane's ancestor hides dangerous truths, and Luke keeps pushing toward his missing family.

Dean is back in command of the *Light* when a distress signal draws him to uncharted territory. Meanwhile Jules faces the brutal politics of desk duty as the Alliance's newest academy comes under threat.

Ryan Pierce thought military life was behind him until alien ships darkened the sky. Surviving the first attack is hard enough, but learning who the real enemy is may be harder.

Earth survives the first wave, but a Formless fleet may already be on the way. Ryan needs to free Solus, rally the Faction, and get humanity ready before the stars go dark again.

Ryan's last chance is to pull scattered allies into one final plan. To save Earth, he must outmaneuver the Formless, rebuild what was lost, and solve an older mystery at the same time.

Hugo gets his chance to join the secretive Conclave, but the price may be higher than he can accept. Jules uncovers a buried secret on a distant paradise while Dean trains recruits far too early.
