It’s the year 2130 and Kendal Benz, a competent, up-and-coming New York attorney has been assigned the world’s highest profile case; the theft of a deepliner spacecraft, stolen by communication specialist Sedge Nile on a mad quest to be the first human to reach the Centauri System, our solar-system’s nearest neighbor. Unable to communicate with her client and unaware if he’s even alive, Kendal begins to cleverly unravel the reality behind the profound sequence of events that led to the perfect crime, events that run as deep as the stolen ship itself. Alluring Echoes is an action-rich story of survival, discovery, human connection, obsession, and raw sanity.
