2021 IPPY Award Winner (Science Fiction) 2020 INDIES Book of the Year Finalist 2021 Readers' Favorite Book Contest Honorable Mention (Science Fiction)An interstellar object arrives. Hidden within it is the universe's greatest secret. A meteor tears across the sky and detonates above Los Angeles, plunging Southern California into terror and chaos. For 17-year-old Dev Harrison, the disaster coincides with the return of a recurring dream. In it, his long-missing father-a brilliant physicist-directs him toward a remote Tahoe peak where his sought-after scientific discovery lies hidden. Unable to ignore the dream, Dev and his closest friends, Abby and Conner, set out north to follow its message. But the California they encounter is far more dangerous than they imagined-a landscape of fanatic separatists, mysterious drones, and a ruthless federal agent hot on their heels. Worst of all are the crawlers. Neither human nor animal-ferocious mutants whose arrival in the wake of the meteor is no coincidence. The deeper they travel, and the more Dev learns about his father's research, the more he and his friends realize they're all that stand between powerful global interests and a discovery capable of altering our place in the universe-and even how we see the universe itself. Blending apocalyptic suspense, alien mystery, and cinematic adventure, Edge of Light is a fast-moving science-fiction thriller for readers of Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, Michael Crichton, and A.G. Riddle.
