Extension

By: Melody Kepler

Narrated by: Haley Catherine

On a dying world, salvation lies 87 light-years away. As Naratu's atmosphere fails, geneticist Ayathesti holds the key to her people's survival: creating a hybrid species on a distant planet called Earth. The mission is clear - collect DNA, establish a colony, and secure a steady supply of gold to save their world. But what begins as a desperate bid for survival will unlock an adventure spanning two worlds.

When Ayathesti discovers the surprising intelligence of Earth's native species, her moral compass clashes with duty. Every choice weighs heavily: the extinction of her own people versus the exploitation of another. Adding to her internal struggle is Tiamet, the mission's charismatic director, whose presence awakens feelings she's long suppressed.

As time runs out and dangerous new threats emerge, Ayathesti must decide: Will she fulfill her mission to ensure her people's survival, or follow her conscience and protect Earth's indigenous population? And can she resist the growing attraction to Tiamet that threatens to compromise everything?

EXTENSION is the first book in a thought-provoking science fiction trilogy that explores the conflict between duty and morality, set against the backdrop of humanity's first contact with an alien civilization. Perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time and Mary Robinette Kowal's The Calculating Stars.
