We Should Have Stayed Silent

About this book

The universe has always been silent.

Humanity assumed that meant we were alone.

We were wrong.

When a signal from beyond our solar system reveals evidence of something far larger than anyone imagined, astronomer Elias Thorne and cryptanalyst Sarah Mercer are drawn into a mystery that quickly becomes a global crisis. With General Marcus McCain fighting to contain the consequences, they uncover a terrifying possibility: the silence of the universe may not be emptiness at all.

It may be survival.

A message sent into the stars cannot be taken back, and humanity has already announced its presence to an unknown audience. Political agendas collide, hidden truths emerge, and the race to understand what is coming becomes a fight for the survival of the human race.

Some civilizations learned to stay quiet.

Humanity didn't.

Now the question is no longer whether we should have spoken.

It's whether we can survive being heard.
