Parallax Bloom

Something ancient is thinking inside the void between asteroids—and xenobiologist Dr. Lina Vasek just made first contact with it. Stationed at humanity's most remote research outpost near a dying star, she's deciphered patterns in gravitational anomalies that reveal a vast, living intelligence woven into the architecture of empty space. Now rival powers are converging on her discovery, each determined to claim or silence what she's found. Lina must decide what this alien mind is worth—and what she's willing to sacrifice to answer.
