Coming from Grand Central Publishing, the first book in the GODFALL trilogy
My debut novel, GODFALL, will be released as a hardcover in January 2026, from Grand Central Publishing. You can preorder it now! It’s a blend of sci-fi and murder mystery that won awards and earned widespread acclaim in an earlier paperback version.
It also was the subject of a Hollywood bidding war, with the rights going to Imagine Entertainment. Academy Award-winner Ron Howard will direct the TV series for Amazon Studios. Read all about the good news in The Hollywood Reporter.
About GODFALL:
When a massive asteroid hurtles toward Earth, humanity braces for annihilation—but the end doesn’t come. In fact, it isn’t an asteroid but a three-mile-tall alien that drops down, seemingly dead, outside Little Springs, Nebraska. Dubbed “the giant,” its arrival transforms the red-state farm town into a top-secret government research site and major metropolitan area, flooded with soldiers, scientists, bureaucrats, spies, criminals, conspiracy theorists—and a murderer.
