The Station

By: Howard, Blair C.

THE STATION

Half a million years ago, a dying civilization left something behind.
When a derelict alien structure at the edge of the solar system starts broadcasting, Commander Frances Drake takes the science vessel Hawking out to find it. What she finds isn't a ruin. It's a machine the size of a city, still running, and it has been waiting.

Waiting for her.

The Predecessors lost their war, but before the end they seeded a primitive world with the architecture of their last hope, and half a million years later that architecture is waking in Drake's own blood. The station will give her everything she needs to fight the Enemy: knowledge, weapons, the power to fold space-time itself.

In exchange it takes her humanity, one piece at a time until there's no way back.
Because the Enemy that destroyed the Predecessors never stopped. They are patient. They are perfect, and they have found Earth.
Drake can save her world. What she has to decide is how much of herself she's willing to give, and whether what survives the war is still worth saving.
