Title: Aegis Incursion
Synopsis:
On a bright July morning in 1948, a B-29 Superfortress flying a top-secret research mission over Nevada crashes into the calm waters of Lake Mead and sinks, remaining lost for half a century.
It has been nearly a year since five friends - Jag, Kody, Mariah, Tegan and Aari - mysteriously reappeared in a small town in Yukon several weeks after their small plane went down in Northern Canada. All were found in good health but with no recollection of what happened to them after the crash.
A baffling contagion is spreading across the bread-basket of North America destroying vital crops. As this dark shadow marches across the globe, widespread famine and riots bring desperate nations to the brink of war.
These seemingly unrelated events set the stage for a battle between the forces of darkness and those destined to become the 'bearers of light'. From ravaged fields in the Great Plains to clandestine installations around the world, the Aegis League must race against time to save humanity.

…A sound in the distance snapped him out of his daydream. It
was a low rumbling, like thunder, but that was impossible—the sky was still
bright and cloudless. As the sound gradually became louder, Elwood was able to
pinpoint the location and slowly looked toward the east. He squinted against
the sun, then gasped when he saw a shimmering silhouette emerge from the glare…
…The aircraft thundered right over Elwood’s head, so near
that the vortex of air created by the plane’s passing churned the water
violently, capsizing the canoe and pitching him into the lake. He struggled and
attempted to cry out, only to choke on water. He floundered back up to the
surface and sputtered and spat as he tried to regain his bearings.
Catching sight of the plane as it boomed overhead, he
watched, agape, as the aircraft hit the surface of the lake on its belly. The
massive propellers struck the water, violently tearing three of the four engines
away from the wings…
~Meet S.S. Segran!~
S.S.Segran
spent a good chunk of her childhood exploring the enchanted forest of a million
tales in the mystical land of books. In her early teens, she began crafting
intriguing new worlds and conjuring up characters who came alive with the flick
of her wand... err... pen. With the publication of her first novel in the Aegis
League Series during her senior year of high school, she was surprised by the
abundance of time that magically appeared right after graduation. She plans to
use this newfound resource to expand the arc of the series. Her future plans
include studying Cognitive Science at university and helping youths in
developing countries realize their potential through her non-profit
organization, Aegis League (www.aegisleague.org)
When not
devouring a book or writing one, S.S.Segran can be found standing behind the
cauldron of life, stirring a potion made up of chores, parkour, gaming, drawing,
horseback riding and—having recently jumped off a perfectly fine airplane at
fifteen thousand feet – perhaps skydiving.
S.S. Segran will award a randomly drawn commenter via Rafflecopter a $25 Amazon/BN GC.
