Last Contact
Geoff North explores prehistoric virus threats through alien contact.
The core conflict arises when a wounded alien’s medical payload becomes a human-borne plague. Two teens gain telepathic powers to guard the being while two others carry the pathogen back through time. This creates a dual timeline where present-day violence mirrors prehistoric extinction events. The narrative focuses on the unintended consequences of first contact and the fragility of human civilization when faced with ancient biological warfare.
Published in 2019 by Independently Published, this work sits within the contemporary self-published science fiction horror market. It draws on the tradition of alien invasion narratives but shifts the threat from military conflict to biological contamination across temporal boundaries.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Geoff North structures this story around the tension between immediate supernatural power and distant historical doom, creating a compelling dual timeline where present-day violence mirrors prehistoric extinction events. The narrative effectively examines the unintended consequences of first contact, particularly when an alien mission to deliver a disease goes awry due to human interference. While those seeking traditional monster hunts or romantic subplots may find the focus on viral transmission and mental control less appealing, readers who enjoy cosmic horror will appreciate the detached observation of the injured entity and the resulting reign of terror. It is a thoughtful exploration of civilization's fragility.
