An echo from across the universe…
The James Webb Space Telescope detects an unusual optical signal from globular cluster NGC 1851. When physicist Katrien De Vries and her team at the University of Amsterdam analyze its information content, the conclusion is undeniable—it’s an alien message.
As they race to decode the transmission, a chilling truth emerges: a gravimetric soliton wave, launched from the distant edges of the universe eons ago, is on a collision course with Earth.
With time running out, Katrien must uncover the wave’s purpose—and whether it signals salvation or annihilation. As the message’s implications unfold, humanity faces its greatest existential threat.
Will the key to survival lie in the stars—or in the message that may rewrite everything we know about the universe?
