Xenoforming: First Contact (Ebook Edition)

They didn’t come to talk.

Oliver Kral is a competitive gamer with sharp instincts and a habit of losing at the worst possible moment. After washing out of a Prague esports tournament, a chance meeting pulls him into the orbit of Martin, a fellow competitor, and Sofia, Martin’s sharp-witted cousin. For one night, things feel almost normal.

Then they don’t.

Abducted from a hospital bed by beings that move without sound and strike without warning, Oliver wakes in a featureless cell with no concept of time, no way out, and no explanation. He isn’t alone. Seven other prisoners share the same fate, each pulled from different lives across Europe, each subjected to a rotating cycle of sedation, examination, and silence. Communication between them is rationed. Trust is a luxury none of them can afford.

But Oliver starts noticing patterns. He maps the routines, tracks the rotations, and builds a language from the scraps he’s given. When an accident bonds him with something ancient and alien, he gains tools no human was meant to have. The question is whether those tools will help him free the others, or whether the thing living inside him has plans of its own.

Set against the backdrop of Prague, Vienna, and the Slovak countryside, Xenoforming: First Contact is a character-driven sci-fi thriller about survival under impossible conditions. It’s a story about people pushed past every limit, forced to rely on strangers, and haunted by the knowledge that what happened underground didn’t stay there.

This is the first book in the Xenoforming series.

For readers who love the claustrophobic dread of Dark Matter, the alien tension of Arrival, and the gritty survival of The Maze Runner — but grounded in a world that feels unsettlingly real.
