Eclipse Enigma: A Stellar Cadets Novel

By C.M. Bilson

Aboard the Aegis, young Emmett Trengor's dreams of becoming a xeno-archaeologist seem within reach. His world of replicated artifacts and ancient alien civilization histories is upended when he stumbles upon a relic that hints at a deeper connection to a long-lost culture. With fair hair and inquisitive green eyes, Emmett may look unassuming, but his discovery aboard Xypheron IV could change the fate of the galaxy. As the Aegis prepares for a rare double eclipse, Emmett--with his friends Jyron's quick reflexes, Lina's linguistic mastery, and Sylaxia's logical mind--uncovers symbols that tell of an impending cosmic event. Their findings are initially dismissed by the ship's council and even Emmett's own parents, leaving him grappling with doubt and the fear of his potential remaining unrealized. Enter Dr. Fionn O'Malley, the unconventional scientist whose mentorship offers Emmett a chance to prove his theories. Together, they decode a celestial puzzle that reveals the ziggurat as a nexus in a galaxy-spanning network of ancient teleportation portals--a network that the warlike Kryl'ax could exploit to launch a devastating invasion. Eclipse Enigma takes the Stellar Cadets on a high-stakes archaeological adventure where the keys to the past unlock a dangerous future. As the eclipse casts its shadow, Emmett and his friends face the challenge of their lives: stop a galactic war before it begins. Join the Stellar Cadets on a journey of discovery, where bravery, intelligence, and the bonds of friendship are tested by the enigmatic echoes of an ancient eclipse. Can Emmett harness the knowledge of the ancients to avert disaster and emerge not just as a hero, but as a true guardian of the galaxy's history and its future?
