Children of Eternity

Thirty years ago, an impossible transmission pierced the cosmos. Hidden within it were instructions for a device no one fully understood-an extragalactic Telegraph built to answer the call.On a distant world in neutral space, humanity and its former enemies resolved to build the device, a rare moment of unity and a calculated gamble that shared purpose might overcome politics.The answer is not what anyone expected.The colony is devastated. Reality fractures. Technology fails. People vanish without a trace-among them soldiers, citizens, and voices no civilization can afford to lose. Aboard the warship Banterra, Captain Heron Agathon is dispatched into the unknown to search for survivors and the truth behind the signal.Beyond the galaxy's edge, something older than civilization is observing humanity's first steps into the uncharted-measuring what it will become when fear, power, and principle collide. The answers lie in the dark between stars. And the truth behind the signal is older-and nearer-than anyone suspects. There is no going back. The human adventure is about to begin.
