"A rookie crew, an untested spaceship, an implausible first contact mission of galactic importance, what could go wrong, and what could it cost humanity?"

If you love books like The Martian by Andy Weir or books like The Expanse by James S.A. Corey, WISDOM: Starship Emissary delivers the grounded realism and high-stakes drama you crave, in an entirely new universe.

When an alien threat emerges beyond Proxima Centauri b, Flax Venture is handed an impossible task: assemble a multicultural crew of Pan Nationals and lead humanity's first peace mission across the stars. Meanwhile, his friend and engineer Tamarind Chase races to build Starship Emissary from scratch and restart Moonbase Verity, all while chasing an encrypted mystery that could decide the fate of the entire mission.

This is hard science fiction space opera at its most human. Amid personal sacrifices, fractured loyalties, and rising near future political intrigue, this interstellar crew adventure navigates dangers from without and within, as each member pursues their own elusive path toward wisdom.

Following the award-nominated events of IMPACT (CIBA Cygnus Awards semi-finalist), WISDOM: Starship Emissary continues the Pan Nationals series, a science fiction series with philosophical themes about extraordinary leaders trained to solve intractable global problems. Now the problems come from beyond our world.

Perfect for readers of hard science fiction, first contact thrillers, and first contact alien peace mission stories that respect both your intellect and your emotions.
