Event Horizon Protocol: Exploring the Point of No Return
Humanity's greatest leap into the unknown just became a desperate fight for survival.
Captain John Lee and brilliant physicist Dr. Erica Cade are at the helm of the Vigilant, humanity's most advanced starship. Their mission is unprecedented: cross an event horizon, survive the crushing gravity of a black hole, and escape with the fundamental secrets of spacetime. The crew knows the cost of their journey. Due to extreme time dilation, the Earth they return to will have aged by centuries, perhaps millennia.
They were prepared to sacrifice their past for the future. They weren't prepared for the truth.
As the Vigilant crosses the event horizon, its precisely calculated mission spectacularly falls apart. A chaotic quantum anomaly violently intercepts the ship's descent, yet thanks to the crew's quick reactions and training, they survive the anomaly and the crushing singularity.
After a miraculous jump back to Earth, their triumph turns to dread. The Earth they find is not the one they left behind, and this unfamiliar new world is far from a safe haven. Faced with unforeseen, catastrophic threats to their very biology, the crew is forced to discover what has happened to their home while fighting just to stay alive. To combat a deadly sickness decimating their ranks, a specialized ground team must descend to the planet's surface on a perilous reconnaissance mission. Their search for answers leads them to a sprawling, pre-industrial metropolis. Running out of time, the team must infiltrate a city and go to extraordinary lengths to secure a cure before the disease claims them all.Packed with mind-bending physics, alternate history, and pulse-pounding military action, Event Horizon Protocol is a gripping hard sci-fi thriller about the ultimate price of exploration.
