The Interstellar Age · A Novella From the Needle to the Stars
A routine prospecting mission.
An impossible discovery.
Before humanity found the road to the stars, one crew encountered something no one could explain.
A Small Asteroid · A Vast Universe
Some discoveries change everything.
A routine asteroid survey should have been simple. Instead, Thomas Renaud and the crew of the Adynate encounter an anomaly that refuses to fit any model they know. The deeper they investigate, the clearer it becomes that what they have found could be worth far more than the asteroid itself.
Set before Forbidden the Stars, From the Needle to the Stars is a standalone prequel novella exploring the discovery that points humanity toward a future far beyond Earth.
