Description
Three vast starships carry what’s left of humanity. Ambushed by vicious aliens, will Earth’s dwindling survivors live to see a new dawn?
Dr. Lucas Sundberg’s guilt is his only companion. On humankind’s one-way mission to find a viable planet for a fresh start, he unknowingly leads the remaining 36,000 souls into a devastating attack. Isolated in the aftermath, he struggles for redemption. So when he discovers a father and daughter still alive on the same near-derelict ship, the determined scientist vows to help extract them from the monster-ridden wreckage.
Widower Nathan Clarke will do anything to keep the last of his family from being killed. After a year of hiding in a secret shelter, he jumps at the chance of survival when his strong-minded twelve-year-old, Izzy, uncovers a potential lifeline off the interstellar deathtrap. But with horrific creatures blocking their exit, he and his daughter risk everything to get to safety.
As Lucas teams up with the dad and the daring girl to make it to an escape vessel, he learns they’re not as alone as he feared. But they will never stop fighting to reach the one generational ship left unharmed . . . even if it takes their final breath.
Will they break free of their crumbling coffin before the vacuum claims their lives?
Goliath Fallen is a nail-biting science fiction thriller. If you like tormented heroes, terrifying odds, and bold acts of courage, then you’ll love this gripping tale.

Some notes about this book: Fantastic read. Interesting plot. Wonderful characters, somewhat innovative and intriguing.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets Illuminae and The Walking Dead. Goliath Fallen is a rollercoaster of action and emotions. The two main characters, Nate and his daughter Izzy, are both surviving on a ship after an alien invasion decimates most of the humans aboard. That not bad enough? Well there are also a myriad of creatures onboard now that are hunting them and any other survivors. The characters in this book are extremely well written and the reader gets to see them grow and struggle within these brutal times but make you cheer for them as they try to survive. The story itself was fast paced, thrilling, and sometimes, frightening. The book did have moments where it got a little confusing but I found by the end of the book, everything made sense. I had a lot of negative comments about some of the characters, but as I finished the book, I found I understood their flaws and what made them act the way they did. Overall, this is a wonderful science fiction novel. If you love space, aliens, creepy creatures and action, I definitely recommend picking up this book!
GOLIATH FALLEN is a complicated Science Fiction, Far Future, novel, with keen world-building accompanying an explosive reader's hook. A trio of Generation Ships have traveled a century and a half from an exhausted and debilitated Earth. When they reach the Alpha Centauri System, a distress signal summons them to a crashed alien vessel, with tragic consequences and a bizarre personalized warning from a "dying" AI.
I was on the edge of my seat the WHOLE TIME! Fast paced, Scary, Realistic fear based reactions and drive to survive and protect!!!!! I'm a parent and the idea of trying to keep myself and my child safe while being actively hunted is terrifying! These characters draw you in and don't let you go, I could barely look away. At one intense moment my child snuck up on me and I threw the book. Not at my kid though. but it was close. Pick it up and see how fast your pulled in. you wont regret it
I loved this book!
