Danger stalks a ragtag crew as they track a mysterious alien transmission to uncharted space. Are they all doomed?
Plagued with bitter memories, Captain Jack Grady yearns for a simpler life. He’s not going to get it. After a forced landing on a harsh planet, he unwittingly triggers a strange device that could alter his destiny—or scramble his mind.

Embarking on a secret voyage to track a cryptic signal in uncharted space, Grady fears he’s leading his crewmates to their death. When raiders launch a savage attack, he faces a stark choice between fulfilling his mission and saving innocent lives.

With peace at stake, can Grady prevent vicious renegades from obtaining advanced weapons and wreaking widespread devastation? And does the enigmatic alien broadcast threaten the fate of humanity, putting billions of lives at risk?

Perfect for sci-fi adventure/exploration fans who’ll enjoy discovering unknown galaxies with a snarky spacecraft's AI, a tenacious captain haunted by grief and remorse, and a gung-ho weapons operator who loves blowing things up.
