Shadows Over Earth: The Itharion Intervention

A Science Fiction Thriller by Paul O'Connor

They came in silence. They ruled through shadow. And most of humanity never knew they were enslaved.

For centuries, the Draco - a cold-blooded reptilian empire - have manipulated Earth from the shadows, infiltrating governments, corporations, and media to feed off the planet's fear. Humanity, unaware of the puppet strings controlling its destiny, stands on the brink of environmental and psychological collapse.

But far across the stars, the Galactic Federation has been watching. Bound by a fragile peace, they cannot risk open war with the Draco. Instead, they send a covert team of elite operatives from the world of Itharion, where beings walk in human form and wield technologies that resonate with consciousness itself.

Their mission: contact Earth's growing underground resistance, disrupt the Draco's ancient machine of control, and awaken a sleeping planetary defense system known only as the Earthseed lattice.

What follows is a high-stakes race against time - across deserts and jungles, beneath oceans and into the Moon itself - as the team uncovers a buried truth more terrifying than invasion:
Earth is alive. And it's starting to remember.

As resistance sparks rebellion and cosmic forces converge, the line between savior and destroyer blurs. Victory will cost lives. Liberation will demand sacrifice.
And some shadows... don't die quietly.

Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Stargate, and District 9, Shadows Over Earth is a gripping fusion of alien conspiracy, covert warfare, and planetary awakening - the first book in a bold new saga of galactic resistance.

The truth is out there. And it's fighting back.
