Books like Earthfall by Mark Walden
Sam awakens to a sky crowded with strange, humming vessels over London. As people pass silently toward the towering ships, he feels an unusual immunity to the alien signal. Six months later, he is the only human left, buried in an underground bunker with supplies that will last only days. Forced to surface, Sam is intercepted by a flying drone that injures him with a barbed tendril, threatening his survival without medical aid. He evades capture but is shot down again when the drone is destroyed by a hail of machine gun fire. In an instant, Sam realizes he is not truly alone and that the fatal wound inexplicably has not killed him. The narrative follows Sam’s desperate struggle as Earth’s defense begins against the extraterrestrial threat.
