Perfect for you if...

You love hard sci-fi that treats physics and engineering seriously, not as window dressing.
You enjoy crew dynamics under extreme pressure, where competence and personality clash.
You're intrigued by first contact scenarios where humanity is scrambling to help, not conquer.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer character-driven stories over technical problem-solving and world-building.
You want faster pacing. This is methodical, with long stretches focused on the voyage itself.
You're looking for action or combat. This is cerebral and exploratory.

About this book

Late in the 21st century, Earth receives what appears to be an urgent distress signal from planet Proxima Centauri b, located in the star system nearest to the Sun. Astrophysicists believe a massive solar flare threatens to destroy a previously unknown civilization on that world. Earth's existing space programs lack the capability to mount a rescue mission, but a Russian billionaire of questionable ethics launches a secret, specially-designed spacecraft toward Proxima b, over four light-years distant. The ship's unusual crew faces an enormous challenge—assuming they survive the voyage itself. What awaits them on this alien planet remains unknown.
