UAP Task Force Delta: Blood and Shadows

UAP Task Force Delta: Blood and Shadows

When the mission is off the books... failure isn’t an option.

From military thriller author Gary A. Covella comes a pulse-pounding fusion of black ops warfare, clandestine UAP programs, and terrifying first contact. UAP Task Force Delta: Blood and Shadows delivers cinematic action, grounded realism, and chilling alien horror in a relentless, high-stakes story.

The Mission That Never Existed

Deep in the Nevada desert, seven elite operators are summoned for a mission so classified it exists only in whispered code. Under the command of bald, battle-hardened Commander Kerry, the unit known as UAP Task Force Delta is deployed to secure the wreckage of an unidentified craft before foreign powers—or the public—ever learn the truth.

Expecting twisted metal and radiation, they instead uncover something still humming with power: a crashed black UAP half-buried in the sand, a silent gray alien suspended inside a glowing containment capsule, and evidence that someone has been here before. Then the first shadow moves in the dust, and Delta comes face to face with a ruthless reptilian entity that hunts with intelligence, rage, and purpose.

Seven Soldiers. One Secret. No Way Out.

As the night closes in, communications fail, systems glitch, and orders from command start to contradict everything Kerry knows about protocol and survival. Data ripped from the wreck reveals a buried history of human experimentation, hybridization, and weaponized alien technology. Someone inside the chain of command is willing to sacrifice Delta to protect the program.

Trapped between the lies of their own government and a predator born of another world, Kerry and his seven-person team must fight their way through sabotage, psychological warfare, and inhuman threats to stop a technology that should never have been awakened.

The Enemy Within... and Beyond

When rogue scientist Dr. Li and his secret research are exposed, Delta uncovers a horrifying agenda: merge alien intelligence with human soldiers and turn Earth into the proving ground. Every step closer to the heart of the facility forces Kerry to choose between obedience and conscience, secrecy and survival.

What began as a recovery operation becomes a last stand. If Delta fails, the next evolution of warfare will not be human at all.
