Nothing Said Twice
She has twenty-four days of water. Home is thirty days away. And the alien walking beside her may be the first intelligent life humanity has ever found.
When field chemist Juno Halloran crashes more than a thousand kilometres from humanity's only settlement on the distant world of Aubade, survival becomes an equation she already knows she cannot solve.
Then she meets Kite.
Tall, strange, and utterly nonhuman, Kite follows Juno across a world of permanent dusk-helping her survive flares, predators, thirst, and a landscape no human was meant to cross. At first, Juno thinks Kite barely has a language.
She is wrong.
Kite has been speaking all along.
As Juno learns to perceive a language written in patterns of heat, she begins to understand that Aubade is far more complex than humanity imagined. The planet holds ancient biological systems, intelligent life, and discoveries that could change medicine-and human history-forever.
One of those discoveries may even save Juno's life.
But taking it could destroy something else.
And when survival, scientific discovery, love, and first contact collide, Juno must decide whether humanity's greatest discovery is something to possess...
or something to leave alone.
Nothing Said Twice is a character-driven first-contact science-fiction novel about survival, communication, sacrifice, and the dangerous difference between discovering another world and believing it belongs to you.
