The Echo Crown
The seventh volume of the
Hyperspace Crown series plunges Earth’s fractured alliance into deeper mystery and mounting peril. Beneath Antarctica, a signal pulses through ancient ice — not a message, but a response. As Britain leads an international coalition into the farthest reaches of hyperspace, it becomes clear the corridors are not natural — they were engineered, and someone has noticed they are being reopened.
While China and Russia scheme to seize control through stealth and subterfuge, Britain tightens its grip on the secrets of the drive — secrets that may have once doomed other civilizations. In hyperspace, a structure awakens: not a station, but a
terminal left behind by something greater. Miriam Varquez begins to receive images, thoughts, and warnings not her own. And when a corridor opens itself without human command, the message is clear:
You have inherited the test. You are not yet the answer.
As alliances fracture and ghostly signals flicker across the stars, Earth’s bold venture risks becoming a reenactment of a forgotten tragedy. The crown Britain has forged may not grant dominion — only the illusion of control in a game played by long-dead gods.
