She took the job because she thought it would be easy.
After a personal loss and a job in high-pressure diplomacy, Vicki Heywood accepts a quiet summer assignment: keep an eye on the teenage children of her former professor and stay out of trouble. No crises. No politics. No surprises.
That plan doesn’t last.
In a world where powerful corporations operate beyond government oversight, secrets are currency—and some are protected with lethal force. Vicki stumbles into evidence of covert alien technology and a shadowy corporate consortium known as the Partnership, an organization that does not tolerate witnesses.
And the aliens involved are done staying hidden.
Forced on the run with three teenagers who are far more powerful in ways that no one imagined, Vicki races to uncover the truth. What they find isn’t just a single scandal or a rogue operation, but something with the power to reshape global control—and unravel the lies holding the world together.
The Partnership intends to silence them.
Cloud Hands is the first book in The Disclosure Files, a science-fiction series about secrecy, control, and what happens when ordinary people stumble into truths no one was meant to survive.
The next frontier isn’t space. It’s us.
