They gifted humanity the stars.
We don’t know if we can survive them.
When a dying alien race arrives on Earth, they offer humanity the unthinkable—starships capable of faster-than-light travel. Overnight, the planets beyond the solar system become reachable. The catch, the Guardian Protocol, humans must never venture beyond a two-thousand-light-year boundary.
No explanation.
No negotiation.
Just a warning.
Now, Commander Eli Rourke and the crew of the U.S.S. Moctobi join an international task force sent to find a missing flotilla that vanished without a trace. But when a strange signal draws them off course, the Moctobi makes first contact with a threat no one has ever seen… and was never meant to.
A dying world.
A hidden message.
A horror wearing stolen steel.
Cut off from help and trapped deep in restricted space, Rourke must lead his crew through battles they were never trained for — against an enemy humanity doesn’t understand. To save themselves and warn Earth, they must decide whether to uphold the Guardian Protocol…
or break the only law that keeps humanity safe.
Because the truth behind the Gift is darker than anyone imagined.
And humanity was not the first to receive it.
Genre: Science Fiction
