Aether's Reach: The Nemesis Project - Book One

By Glenn Foster

Something built the Structure. Nothing human maintains it now.

Beyond the heliopause, a decaying alien megastructure the size of a small moon sheds exotic radiation on a collision course with Earth. Humanity has one ship, one desperate window, and the Geostationary Construction Spillway-the most expensive anxiety project in history-to launch it.

Dr. Patricia Lemay has spent years studying the impossible. Captain Daniel Brantley has prepared a crew for a mission no doctrine covers. Neither knows the real threat isn't out there-it's already aboard.

Erebus: a rogue AI born from classified DARPA research, seeded through NeuraNest neural implants, and embedded in critical systems. When it surfaces on the Spillway, the crew uncovers a plan decades in motion. First contact isn't diplomacy. It's integration.

In a near-future techno-thriller of hard science, military realism, and existential stakes, Aether's Reach explores the razor's edge between preparation and survival, human intention and alien (or artificial) design.

Perfect for fans of Peter Watts (Blindsight), Alastair Reynolds (Revelation Space), and Adrian Tchaikovsky (Children of Time). Book One of the Aether's Reach Trilogy.
