Overview

THE UNIVERSE WAS NEVER EMPTY. WE JUST WEREN'T LISTENING.In the ashes of 22nd-century Earth, where AI wars have poisoned half the planet and hope itself has become a relic of the past, one twelve-year-old boy refuses to accept that humanity's story is over. Jack Maxwell has lost everything. His parents vanished when he was a baby. His world crumbled before he could walk. He lives on a frozen mountain peak with his elderly grandparents-the last survivors of a family of brilliant scientists-surrounded by nothing but silence and stars. Jack has never stopped believing his parents are alive. Somewhere. Somehow. Then, one stormy night, the impossible happens. A signal arrives from 55 million light-years away. Not from a cold machine. Not from an ancient probe. But from a boy-an alien child named Ezmyron who is just as lonely, just as brilliant, and just as desperate for a friend. And that signal changes everything. WHAT BEGINS AS FRIENDSHIP BECOMES HUMANITY'S GREATEST HOPEUsing forbidden technology and his grandparents' genius, Jack builds a device that bridges the gulf between minds-a quantum link that lets two children speak across the universe in real-time. But Ezmyron carries devastating secrets: his world is dying, his civilization is desperate for allies, and dark forces are watching from the void between galaxies. When Jack discovers a way to use their connection to search for his missing parents, he uncovers a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew-and sets him on a mission that only he can complete. Some journeys require crossing galaxies. This one requires crossing the impossible. A GENRE-DEFYING SAGAWhere hard science meets hopepunk heart.
