Return to Vega: The Awakening

Humanity did not arrive in the Vega system as conquerors. But it did not arrive peacefully either.When first contact fractures into misunderstanding and escalation, a distant star system becomes the front line of a war no one intended to start-and no one fully understands how to end.As Earth's decisions ripple outward, the consequences are borne by those far from the negotiating tables: civilians, explorers, and officers forced to adapt to a conflict that rewrites loyalties and redraws the meaning of survival.Return to Vega is a character-driven science fiction novel about unintended wars, cultural collision, and the quiet costs of expansion. It is not a story of heroes and villains-but of people living with the aftermath of choices already made.This is the first volume in an ongoing series.
