About this title

Synopsis

Some discoveries cannot be filed.
Some orders cannot be followed.
And some distances were never meant to be crossed.

Beck Ward has spent a lifetime learning to trust numbers over instinct. It is the only philosophy that keeps a man sane at the edge of the solar system.

Jupiter proves him wrong.

Commanding the deep-space vessel Astraeus, Beck leads a hand-picked crew on a twelve-month mission to deploy the Horizon-G array: a gravity-mapping system precise enough to trace the curvature of space itself.

The science is settled. The flight plan is filed. The mission is routine.

Until the data starts coming back wrong.

Recurring ripples in the fabric of space-time. A discovery that could redefine physics or destroy the crew that finds it.

To the Astraeus science officer, it is the discovery of a generation. To Beck, it is a warning.

With his crew divided and Earth demanding obedience to a failing flight plan, Beck must choose between protocol and survival, between the certainty of command and the truth unfolding in the dark.

He promised eight-year-old Sam he would come home.

But space near Jupiter is no longer stable.

It is breaking.

And something is waiting on the other side.

Horizon Array is a high-tension hard sci-fi novella about a deep-space mission, a gravity anomaly, and the thin line between discovery and catastrophe. Perfect for fans of The Martian, The Expanse, and Interstellar.
