Brody's Response Time: A Brody Morgan Saga: 5

Deputy Brody Morgan has spent years trying to forget the night at the Waypoint Truck Stop - the night reality fractured, people vanished, and he survived when others did not.Now, on a quiet desert road near Dead Horse Ridge, the impossible has returned.It begins as a feeling: a shadow of a thought knocking at the edge of Brody's mind. Soon the town is losing time, the ridge is flickering between worlds, and a wounded alien presence is reaching for the only human it recognizes. As federal agents close in and the fracture widens, Brody discovers the truth: the strange being is not the real threat.Something older is waiting inside the tear.To save the creature, his town, and perhaps reality itself, Brody must become more than a deputy. He must become the bridge between worlds - and the guard standing against what wants to come through.
