Between Blue and Black

In 2047, Earth is fractured-scarred by famine, unrest, and the slow collapse of its ecosystems. Aboard the International Space Station, microbiologist Evan Frankfurt and his team are humanity's last scientific lifeline, developing radiation-absorbing microbes meant to survive the journey to new worlds.

But when one of their test samples performs the impossible, the data reveals something no one can explain-an unseen force at the edge of understanding, buried in the numbers and growing stronger.

As political tensions rise and the team begins to question the true nature of what they've found, Evan is forced to confront a staggering possibility: they aren't just making contact with a new discovery.

They're making contact with something alive.

And it's listening.
