The Nevada Battle
It wasn’t a drill. It wasn’t war.
Plot Summary
In the vast emptiness of the Nevada desert, a highly trained U.S. military squad enters what they believe is a routine live-fire exercise.
But when all communications abruptly go silent and the skies crack open with strange lights, the operation takes a sudden, terrifying turn.
Cut off from command and surrounded by inexplicable threats, the soldiers begin to suspect that this is no longer a drill - and that their enemy might not be human.
As paranoia spreads, loyalties fracture. One soldier believes it's aliens. Another is convinced it's sabotage. Others just want to survive long enough to find out the truth.
With every passing hour, the desert becomes a psychological battlefield where fear is the only thing that multiplies.
Told in real time and grounded in raw human tension, The Nevada Battle is a gripping sci-fi thriller that explores the razor-thin line between sanity and insanity, and what is true or not.
Nothing can prepare them for what they're about to uncover.
