The Pull: A Hard Science Fiction First Contact Thriller

By Alan Voss

Twenty percent of the sky has never been seen. She built the telescope to change that.

Anya Okafor's father spent thirty one years studying the Great Attractor, the unseen mass pulling hundreds of thousands of galaxies toward a single point, hidden behind the Milky Way's dust. He died in his study in Lagos, surrounded by printouts no one would read, convinced he'd found a pattern in the static.

Now Anya has the telescope that can finally see through the blind spot. And the first images suggest her father wasn't wrong.

What she finds will change everything.

A scientist haunted by her father's unfinished workA next-generation telescope revealing a hidden sky for the first timeA discovery so vast it forces an impossible decisionHard science fiction grounded in real astrophysics

The Pull is a tense, intimate hard sci-fi story about discovery, grief, and a question too important to stop asking.

Perfect for fans of Contact by Carl Sagan, the cosmic scale of Arthur C. Clarke, and the scientific rigor of The Martian.
