A dying planet. A desperate mission. A crew facing impossible odds.
Time is running out for the people of New Pallas. Determined to secure humanity’s survival, Captain Alvera Renata leads a handpicked crew on a perilous journey across the stars in search of a new home.
But first contact with a galactic civilization on the brink of war complicates their mission, and Alvera soon realizes that their only hope may lie in the mysterious alien waystations scattered across the galaxy. Their secrets could save humanity—or awaken a forgotten threat.
As tensions rise and loyalties fracture, each crew member must make an impossible choice: what are they willing to sacrifice for those left behind?
For fans of Mass Effect, The Expanse, and Star Wars, Those Left Behind is a gripping space opera of exploration, survival, and ancient mysteries.
