The Charter: Deep Time: Book One (Terranaut Mirror Saga)
The ship was nine years late. Its clocks said four months. Its passengers hadn't aged a day.
Two days later, it docked again...
For two hundred years, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation controlled interstellar space with an unyielding grip. But their monopoly is collapsing, rival cartels are moving in, and deep inside an unlisted orbital hangar, the Company has been keeping a terrifying secret: the space between the stars is not as empty as everyone believes it to be...
Elias Yutani was the first navigator to realize the potential. He was supposed to be the Corporation's ultimate asset-a living compass capable of giving them the stars forever. Instead, he stole forty years of forbidden research and vanished into the lawless outer rim.
Corporate auditor Vera Kessler is dispatched to hunt him down. She expects a rogue pilot running for his life. Instead, she finds an impossible trail through ghost ships and dead debris fields-a trail Elias laid specifically for her.
As corporate battlefleets mobilize and the frontier edges toward war, Vera must confront a truth the Company has spent centuries trying to bury: Elias didn't steal the future to hide it.
He stole it to show her what's waking up in the dark.
The Charter is a gripping, high-concept space opera of corporate conspiracy, deep-space mystery, and humanity's collision with an ancient cosmos. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Alien, and classic hard sci-fi.
