The Quantum Mirror

Astronauts on a dying station must survive a device that exposes who they really are.

Plot


A dying space station.
A trapped crew fights to survive.
The truth will undo them.


Sent to aid a Russian research station in crisis, astronaut Sarah Mitchell arrives to find the Perun crippled and her team cut off by a violent solar storm. When she discovers the station’s crew dead under unsettling circumstances, she fears they’ve stumbled into a lethal contagion.

As her own team begins to unravel, Mitchell uncovers a quantum device that exposes truths no one is prepared to face. When it dredges up her past, she’s haunted by the one voice she could never silence. The one that taught her she was never enough.

Can she escape the station before it burns through the atmosphere, or will the truth it reveals destroy her first?

Plot


A mission to Mars. A wager decades in the making.
A crew caught in something far bigger.


Commander Kate Holman is minutes from making history when she’s abruptly relieved of command—replaced without warning and left in the dark.

On the Martian surface, something has been uncovered. Something important enough to keep hidden at all costs.

Then everything begins to fall apart.

An astronaut is dead. Systems fail. Rumors spread of a Martian “curse.” As Kate searches for answers, the resistance she faces only deepens—and the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

This mission was never about exploration.

Can she survive long enough to uncover what’s really happening—or will she become one more casualty?

Plot

Since becoming a starship captain, Thomas Holbrook has worried he might someday draw a one-way mission. When he receives orders to divert his CentCom warship to the center of the galaxy, a region from which no vessel has ever returned, he comes face-to-face with his greatest fear.

It’s the year 2330. The “aughts,” robots that warred for independence from mankind, seek insurance against the ever-present human threat. An aught ship speeds to the galactic center for material to build a weapon that could destroy the Earth.

Holbrook can’t allow the aughts to create a planet-killing bomb. He enlists the help of Dr. Rebekah Riesen, a brilliant physicist with her own reasons for joining a mission that may not return, and Tentek, an aught informant who might be a double agent. Together, can they keep a mutinous crew at bay, stop the aughts at the center of the galaxy, and somehow find a way back home?
