ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – June 4, 2026 – Independent author R.W.K. Clark has announced the release of Overtaken, a science fiction suspense thriller that explores the collapse of global civilization under an advanced extraterrestrial occupation.

The story begins as an alien force known as the Oppressors arrives on Earth, quickly overwhelming governments and establishing control over major institutions. As societies collapse, humanity is forced into containment systems designed to suppress resistance and break collective autonomy.

Within this global crisis, Josh Nichols, a skilled programmer, and Kamryn Reynolds, an expert hacker, emerge as key figures in humanity’s resistance effort. Stationed within a collapsing command structure in Washington, D.C., they attempt a high-risk infiltration of alien network systems in a final effort to disable the occupation’s technological advantage.

As the world is systematically subdued, the narrative focuses on themes of survival, technological resistance, and the psychological impact of losing autonomy on a planetary scale. It also explores how human connection, ingenuity, and determination become critical tools against overwhelming external control.

“With Overtaken, I wanted to explore how humanity responds when confronted by a force far beyond its understanding or control,” said author R.W.K. Clark. “At its core, the story is about resilience, problem-solving, and the refusal to surrender even in the face of total domination.”

Overtaken is available in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats through major online retailers, including Amazon.
