The Astronaut Who Came Back Twice

By Jenny Murfreesboro

Commander Jonah Prescott returns to Earth after an eighteen-month mission through the edge of the solar system, carrying terrifying knowledge about a temporal rift and a coming solar catastrophe. But instead of being welcomed home as a hero, he is captured by armed operatives and treated as an impossible threat.The reason is horrifying: another Jonah Prescott is already alive.That other Jonah returned six months earlier, received medals, resumed his career, and returned to his wife Eleanor and daughter Violet. The Jonah who has just landed appears to be an impossible duplicate-genetically almost identical, but physically damaged by the additional months spent in space.As Jonah struggles to prove his identity, he realizes that the temporal rift may have split reality itself. Worse, the version of himself who returned first may not know what is coming. Jonah alone remembers the violet sky, the approaching solar disaster, and the future he witnessed beyond the rift.The two versions of Jonah eventually face the ultimate choice: determine which reality can survive and whether one of them must disappear so the other can save Eleanor, Violet, and the Earth. In the climactic convergence, both versions work together to activate a planetary shield against the catastrophic solar event.The Astronaut Who Came Back Twice is a gripping science-fiction thriller about identity, sacrifice, parallel realities, family, and the terrifying question of what makes a person truly "the original."
