Perfect for you if...

You love hard sci-fi where the physics actually matter and characters grapple with impossible problems.
You appreciate stories where being right doesn't guarantee anyone will listen to you.
You're drawn to narratives that span multiple perspectives, including truly alien viewpoints.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots with constant action; this is cerebral and deliberate.
You want romance or character intimacy as a central thread; the focus here is entirely intellectual.
You're looking for optimistic futures where technology solves everything without consequences.

About this book

In the twenty-second century, Earth gains access to unlimited free energy through an exchange with a parallel universe, using a process created by aliens. However, this energy source carries a hidden cost: the transference process will eventually destroy Earth's Sun and the planet itself. Only a few individuals know this devastating truth: an outcast Earth scientist, a rebellious alien from a dying planet, and a lunar-born human with intuitive abilities who perceives the Sun's impending destruction. These humans and aliens understand the true price of abundant energy, but face the challenge of convincing others of the danger. Their knowledge holds the key to Earth's survival.
