Part of Series
An eco-terrorist plot to bring down Earth’s greatest space station. An impossible murder shrouded in nano technology. And an extrasolar signal from a sentient species. From best-selling novelist Christopher Hopper, who brought you Ruins of the Earth and Ruins of the Galaxy, comes this new hard scifi space thriller that fans say is “next in line to The Expanse.” When famed engineer and test pilot Jericho Fox is sent to investigate an explosion on Astraea Station, he discovers that the emergency is more than a simple system failure. The issues cascade too fast to be accidents, and Fox senses a disaster is imminent. Meanwhile, decorated astrophysicist Dr. Evelyn Park becomes the lead suspect in the attack. She’s forced to take matters into her own hands and fight to protect what she believes is humanity’s greatest discovery: a potential alien signal from the planet Kepler-1649c. Tensions rise as Jericho and Evelyn try to piece together the shocking truth behind Astraea Station's failures. But can they do it before everyone aboard dies?
