'Agent Sam (Samantha) Mitchell has exploded an alien stronghold, deep in Outback Australia. The reprisals have killed her husband and all her associates. Sam can either give up or try to save Earth's entire human population from conversion to andronic slaves.

'Sam's quest to save Earth from alien invasion is aided by cryptic advice from a cosmic intelligence network, however there is another competing network.

'Sam's boundless resourcefulness brings together an unusual resistance team of blacksmiths, retired academic, security guard and managing director of a former cutting-edge tech company. Despite winning many skirmishes, Sam's forces face defeat. Their only chance of survival is to drive their campaign into the aliens' covert stronghold. But the last time this was attempted it ended in disaster. Will they make it out alive this time?

'Covert Citadel is the second of a series of novels set in near future outback Australia, where pandemic contagion has wiped out 80% of the population and wrecked the economy.'

'Agents Sam (Samantha) Mitchell and Byron Lowe have graduated from a US-based UFO disinformation bureau. They must assess whether the sightings and plans of an alien intelligence network in the Australian Outback are in humanity's best interests.

Hampered by mounting global pandemic, they meet an unlikely pair—retired airline pilot Sens and an activist indigenous [sic] woman Meg, who've been associated with several ET sightings. It is only when Sens' pet dog Marshall is reported to have accomplished seemingly impossible feats, that Sam and Byron find the key to direct contact with the aliens.'
