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 ...

Scuba diver Jake McDonald discovers a large alien probe in an underwater cave and is beamed aboard.

In the heart of the Australian desert, aging geneticist Joaquim Moreau discovers an extraordinary molecule. Instant healing. Cellular rejuvenation. The disappearance of once-incurable diseases. The miracle cure of the century. And the key to unimaginable wealth. But the molecule hides two secrets. The first: an absolute dependency. Those who take it stop wanting, working, hoping. Its victims sink into a peace so perfect it becomes lethal. The Indigenous peoples of Australia knew this substance and had forbidden it for millennia. The second is even more unsettling: in rare carriers of a ...

Twenty kilometres beneath Europa’s ice, a probe finds something that should not exist, and the one person who wanted this discovery most is the one who now has to protect it from her own species. Mara has spent eighteen months alone at Calypso, a four-module habitat drilled into the ice of Jupiter’s moon, watching a probe named Orpheus creep downward at three metres a day toward an ocean no instrument has ever touched. Then, on an ordinary afternoon, the pressure readings drop to zero. Orpheus has broken through, into water that has been sealed in darkness for longer than complex life ...
