A mysterious signal from deep space. Mischief and murder at a military base.
Earth’s leaders are given an ultimatum: deliver Sam Sanderson to Logom, a planet known to house a hostile AI civilization, or face interplanetary war.
When Sam receives a strange letter drafting her into the Great Alliance for Interplanetary Affairs as a matter of international security, she expects to get answers. But instead of receiving a warm welcome, she finds that most people under the surface are distant, cold, and have built walls of silence. While grappling with her unique power and the consequences of her actions, she learns that the organization she’s supposed to serve has a chilling past and guards a dark secret.
While Earth’s scientists scramble to defend their world and the planetary alliance from the AI threat, Sam is forced on a mission to the Dark Galaxy. A place where dangers lurk, tensions run high, and things are never what they seem.
But will the journey change her forever?
As Sam desperately navigates a maze of lies, dark secrets, and finds herself at the heart of a dangerous journey, she discovers that it will take much more than her courage and power to save humanity.
Time’s running out, and there’s no turning back now…
From the award-winning author of Journey to the Hopewell Star comes the highly anticipated sequel that’s sure to be a thrilling ride!

Excerpt
Cold sweat clung to her skin as they waited for the ship to power down. The gangway descended, and a thick wave of dusty air swirled up and pushed against them. The brilliant red and white grains of sand sparkled in the air, almost blinding her.
“You ready?” Kwan asked Sam as they made their way outside.
Ready? Kwan’s instructions had been vague and subjective at best. Be confident but not too confident—what did that even mean? Don’t let them smell your fear? She was ready all right—ready to run and hide. Hide her identity, hide away somewhere where no one could find her. That’s all she wanted to do right now. She wanted to turn back. But she couldn’t. Not now. They were already moving. Descending the gangway like prisoners being forced off the plank of a ship. This didn’t feel like a diplomatic mission at all.
Dread rose from the pit of her stomach. They were leaving the ship and heading into uncharted territory. With a bounty on her head and hostiles approaching, not knowing what would come next, it took all her power just to keep herself together.
“As ready as can be.”
Inside, she didn’t feel ready at all.
