Alien Hunter: Underworld, the searing sequel to Alien Hunter from bestselling author Whitley Strieber
Flynn Carroll works for the most secret police unit on the planet, seeking the most brilliant and lethal criminals who have ever walked free: thieves and murderers from another world. As part of a top secret CIA alien communications project, Flynn's unit has been tasked with tracking down rogue agents from the planet Aeon. While Aeon claims to be a free planet desiring open communications with humanity, Aeon criminals have committed a series of brutal and bizarre murders on Earth. Flynn has been forbidden to take lethal action against the alien murderers—but as the bodies begin to pile up, something must be done. Flynn finds himself cut off from his team, struggling to unearth Aeon secrets while protecting Earthling civilians from the deadly creatures. But as Flynn gets closer to the truth, he finds himself facing not only some of the most dangerous and frightening criminals ever seen on Earth, but also questions about his own existence. In order to crack the case, Flynn must come to grips with the greatest mystery he has yet confronted: who—or what—is he?

Reviews-
June 23, 2014 Flynn Carroll, a Texas cop assigned to an ultra-secret government group combatting rogue aliens from the planet Aeon, has a series of murders to solve in Strieber’s gory, workmanlike sequel to 2013’s Alien Hunter. The victims had all been derelicts whose mutilated corpses were dumped in the Northeast, but the latest is a neurologist, Daniel Miller, who may have “hit on something somebody would rather we didn’t know.” The stakes are predictably high, and of course everything depends on Flynn alone (“mankind’s future was his to win or lose”). Strieber makes a throwaway reference to Eisenhower having had contact with aliens, but otherwise offers only a sketchy, illogical backstory of human clashes with extraterrestrials in the mid-20th century. Labored prose doesn’t help (e.g., “The plane flew on, as did Earth on its mysterious journey, each bearing its cargo of innocent lives into an uncertain future”). Agent: Russell Galen, Scovil Galen Ghosh Literary Agency.
