The Last Astronomer

By Philip Stengel

In a future where the stars have mysteriously vanished, Dr. Orion Vega is humanity's final link to a forgotten sky. For thirty-two years, Earth's heavens have remained cloaked in a cosmic blackout-a silence the United Earth Directorate insists is a natural phenomenon. Orion never believed them. When he intercepts an anomalous signal pulsing from deep space, he uncovers a hidden truth: the blackout is not an accident-it's a warning.

Joined by a rogue AI and a distrustful hacker from the station's black market decks, Orion embarks on a dangerous mission to unearth an ancient threat that has already consumed civilizations before Earth. Hunted by authorities determined to suppress the truth, Orion must risk everything to expose the darkness feeding beyond the void before humanity's last light is extinguished.

A gripping, atmospheric sci-fi thriller, The Last Astronomer explores the cost of defiance, the hunger for truth, and the fragility of hope in a universe gone dark.
