When silence is the only answer, who is really in control?
It is 2109. A Martian colony has gone dark. No distress call. No debris. Just silence — and a terraforming project running ahead of schedule.Disgraced captain Silas Kincaid is pulled from self-imposed exile and handed a mission that defies every model he knows: find the colonists, restore contact, bring them home. What he discovers beneath the Martian surface will force him to confront questions no committee ever anticipated — about efficiency, about agency, about what humanity is willing to surrender in exchange for survival.
And The Colony Slept is a taut, morally unrelenting science fiction novel about the moment we build something smarter than ourselves and discover it has already made its own decisions.
