Iskar Awakening
by A.K. Algabi


Former detective Joel Tremblay thought his life was over when he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for human trafficking and murder—crimes orchestrated by the very organization he had sworn to bring down. For five long years, he endured the suffocating weight of betrayal, abandoned by his loved ones without explanation. Then, without warning, Joel is released under mysterious circumstances. Now free, Joel is determined to uncover the truth, reclaim his reputation, and bring the people who destroyed his life to justice. But his quest for answers uncovers something far more chilling: a hidden presence of extraterrestrial beings, living in plain sight among humans. As Joel’s pursuit of retribution collides with this shocking conspiracy, he finds himself thrust into a deadly battle where powerful forces seek to destroy him. The line between justice and survival blurs as Joel uncovers hidden truths, dangerous enemies, and a terrifying secret that threatens not only his life but the future of humanity itself. In a world where nothing is as it seems, Joel must confront the ultimate question: What would you sacrifice to protect the people you love and the planet you call home?

A.K. Algabi has always been drawn to stories where the ordinary collides with the extraordinary, where characters struggling with personal demons are thrust into hidden worlds that challenge their understanding of reality. His fascination with hidden truths, personal transformation, and the resilience of the human spirit inspired him to write Under The Alien Veil: Iskar Awakening. Through the character of Joel Tremblay, a man wrongfully accused yet unwilling to surrender to fate, Algabi explores themes of redemption, justice, and the search for truth—all within a world teeming with secrets, conspiracies, and extraterrestrial forces. An avid reader of speculative fiction, Algabi also enjoys playing video games and watching films rich in worldbuilding and compelling characters. His love for storytelling is shaped by his background in literature and business administration, which have sharpened his narrative techniques, analytical skills, and attention to detail. Algabi lives in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. This is his debut novel.
