A mysterious signal from deep space. Mischief and murder at a military base.
Earth’s leaders are given an ultimatum: deliver Sam Sanderson to Logom, a planet known to house a hostile AI civilization, or face interplanetary war.
When Sam receives a strange letter drafting her into the Great Alliance for Interplanetary Affairs as a matter of international security, she expects to get answers. But instead of receiving a warm welcome, she finds that most people under the surface are distant, cold, and have built walls of silence. While grappling with her unique power and the consequences of her actions, she learns that the organization she’s supposed to serve has a chilling past and guards a dark secret.
While Earth’s scientists scramble to defend their world and the planetary alliance from the AI threat, Sam is forced on a mission to the Dark Galaxy. A place where dangers lurk, tensions run high, and things are never what they seem.
But will the journey change her forever?
As Sam desperately navigates a maze of lies, dark secrets, and finds herself at the heart of a dangerous journey, she discovers that it will take much more than her courage and power to save humanity.
Time’s running out, and there’s no turning back now…
From the award-winning author of Journey to the Hopewell Star comes the highly anticipated sequel that’s sure to be a thrilling ride!
Sam Sanderson woke, her heart beating rapidly. A nightmare lingered—images of enemy alien ships, of giant, black, egg-shaped pods descending from the sky. And inside them, those menacing creatures. Like giant spherical jellyfish, a hybrid of AI machinery and organic flesh. Their mutating bodies, slick black bubbling masses. Those gleaming metallic barbed tentacles slicing through the air. They hovered on purple pockets of energy, racing to locate and destroy their victims…
She rubbed her eyes, trying to erase the frightening images. Dense grogginess and a pounding headache put her on edge—a raw, pulsating ache that only intensified as she took in her strange surroundings.
This wasn’t home. At least, it wasn’t her home on Maple River Drive in Moncton, New Brunswick, with her grandfather. And this wasn’t her comfortable bed. This confining, gloomy room with drab white walls was definitely not her residence quarters at the military base, either. So where was she?
She bolted upright. A bed, a sink, and a toilet. No windows. Where there should have been a door, instead were thick, impenetrable iron bars.
She gulped, her mouth dry. She pulled her blanket closer, the damp coldness of the air threatening to seep into her bones.
Her mouth gaped open in sudden awful awareness. This was no nightmare.
They’d captured her.
