The Lost Settlers of Eos

By Jonathan Rees

Three years remain until the object reaches Eos. The colonists of Meridian and the settlers of Haven have sealed their peace in a single charter and begun preparing for a war nobody knows how to fight. Then a survey team on the frozen northern plateau hears a voice beneath the ice: a human signal, older than either colony, calling from a place no map records.

The signal leads to Colony Four, a settlement of empty houses, meals still on the tables, names on a wall, and no bodies. Beneath the basalt, the surveyors find the living: descendants of Orpheus, a fourth ship launched from Earth one hundred and twelve years before. Born underground, raised in the dark, and taught to fear the open sky, they are the survivors of an experiment Earth erased from every archive. Their founders were chosen before birth, and the reason was buried with them.

As the ancient network beneath the planet wakes site by site, and suspicion between the colonies hardens into open war, the object in the dark does the one thing nobody prepared for. It answers. Someone on Eos invited what is coming, and the price of the planet's only defence must be paid in human hands.

To survive the fleet now dividing in the void, three peoples divided by secrets must become one. The Lost Settlers of Eos continues The Eos Chronicles, a science fiction series about the price of new beginnings and the cost of old ones. Come for the mystery. Stay for the lost who refuse to stay buried.
