Book One in a heart-pounding and thought-provoking new science fiction action-adventure trilogy, The Golden Ellipse, transports readers into the near-future world of 2044, on the brink of an apocalyptic alien invasion. Enter Rachel and Owen Haig, a honeymooning couple hijacked onto a dangerous odyssey to locate and return a timeless gold relic atop a proto-pyramidic beacon hidden deep beneath the Giza Plateau.

It’s just the fate of the world. No pressure.

John Hopkins blends an intriguing mix of science fiction, alternative history, techno-thriller, and horror into an entertaining, original new series. The Golden Ellipse introduces the centuries-old clandestine organization, The Powers That Be, and a memorable cast of heroes and villains from Earth and beyond, matching wits through plot twists and turns while unraveling humankind’s most vexing enigmas and illuminating our destiny in a crowded universe.

The Golden Ellipse culminates in a harrowing pitch-black descent beneath the Giza Plateau, where destinies collide as a monstrous alien fleet breaches the skies above Earth, setting the stage for Book Two, The Lost Ship.
