The road between the stars was not built for us. But we found it. At a multinational deep-space observatory orbiting Jupiter, theoretical physicist Dr. Alina Rao detects an anomaly in the spacetime curvature at the planet’s L2 Lagrange point. It is precise. It is periodic. And it is not natural. What begins as a measurement becomes a revelation: a quantum phase corridor, engineered, ancient, and stretching thousands of light-years into the galaxy. When a probe is sent to investigate and returns molecularly transformed, carrying atoms forged in another star, Rao and her team must confront ...

What they find is not an invasion force. It’s something far stranger. The object doesn’t travel through space. It rewrites space, altering the fundamental constants of physics around itself, converting vacuum energy as a mode of transportation. As the Aegis ...

We just couldn't see them. Commander Elena Vasquez is 0.31 AU from the sun when the photosphere opens. For eleven minutes, the coronagraph on the solar observation ...
