The year is 2291. Admiral Elena Reyes returns to Dysnomia with a clear mission: claim the abandoned alien base and its fleet. But answers breed only deeper questions.
Who were the Ton'Ta? Explorers, conquerors, refugees … an advanced civilization now probably extinct. The mysteries they left behind run far deeper than anyone expected, including some about the human distant past, and the path to the stars demands extreme caution.
Back on Earth, riots and violence threaten the fragile preparations for humanity's first interstellar voyage. As political tensions mount, the expedition team on Dysnomia uncovers unsettling connections between the Ton'Ta and human history itself.
Meanwhile, with an ancient fleet of Ton'Ta warships claimed from Dysnomia's frozen depths with its ultimate prize – a colossal alien flagship, its systems and secrets barely understood, humanity edges toward becoming a true spacefaring species, but the universe waiting beyond proves far more complex and potentially hostile than anyone imagined.
The Journey delivers an epic conclusion of discovery, interstellar adventure, and humanity's first tentative steps into the cosmic unknown.
If you savored the wonder of Carl Sagan's "Contact" and the hard science of Alastair Reynolds' "Pushing Ice," you'll find The Journey an irresistible finale—perfect for readers drawn to first contact, ancient enigmas, and humanity's leap into the void.
