A nearby supernova...and an impending first contact...will change humanity forever. From the multiple USA Today bestselling author of Accord of Honor, Ad Astra, and more than sixty other books, and debut author Elizabeth McLaughlin comes a spellbinding sci-fi thriller about two people's desperate struggle to save humanity from extinction. In the near future, a supernova erupts unexpectedly in a nearby star. There was no warning, no evidence that the star could ignite in such a way. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction as Earth is bombarded with particles from the stellar explosion, wreaking havoc. An alien ship has arrived near Earth's moon only hours before light from the supernova. Have they come to help, or are they mortal enemies who plan to take advantage of the supernova's EMP to stage an invasion? Doctor Alexandra King never knew that the paper she once wrote about theoretical xeno-psychology would lead the US government to consider her their foremost expert on the subject. Ace pilot David Jackson has been assigned a mission which might save humanity - or doom it - and he won't know which until after he's done the job. Join them as they struggle to make sense of a changed world and do whatever it takes to ensure the human race has a shot at surviving the Supernova Cycle!
