We are not alone. They are here. And there’s no going back. Perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and the I Am Number Four series, Dark Energy is a thrilling stand-alone science fiction adventure from Robison Wells, critically acclaimed author of Variant and Blackout.

Five days ago, a massive UFO crashed in the Midwest. Since then, nothing—or no one—has come out.

If it were up to Alice, she’d be watching the fallout on the news. But her dad is director of special projects at NASA, so she’s been forced to enroll in a boarding school not far from the crash site. Alice is right in the middle of the action, but even she isn’t sure what to expect when the aliens finally emerge. Only one thing is clear: everything has changed.

• First Contact: The aliens have landed, but they aren’t what anyone expected. When they finally emerge, they look… human.
• A Deadly Conspiracy: As the daughter of a NASA director, Alice is closer to the truth than anyone—and in more danger than she could ever imagine.
• Boarding School Setting: While the world panics, Alice is trapped in a preppy school where the new transfer students aren’t just from another state—they’re from another world.
• Ancient Mystery: The key to survival might not lie in the stars, but in a secret buried for centuries right here on Earth.
