REACHING The Edge

For twenty-two years, the starship Perpetua has crossed the darkness between the stars.

While its crew sleeps, ARIA and the synthetic human Sam keep watch as the solar system fades into memory and Proxima Centauri grows ever closer.

Then everything changes.

A mysterious signal from Proxima b is unmistakably artificial. When communication with Earth suddenly fails, the Perpetua is left alone between the stars, carrying humanity toward the greatest first contact in history.

As the crew awakens to a universe far stranger than they imagined, every decision will shape the future of two worlds.

A grounded hard science fiction novel of endurance, discovery and humanity’s first journey beyond the solar system.

Book Five of the six-book Reaching Saga.
