Description
Firefall is the story of a momentous first contact, as sixty-two thousand objects of unknown origin plunge into Earth's atmosphere, leaving behind only whispers from deep space. The world is forever changed as two ships, Theseus and the Crown of Thorns, are launched to uncover the truth behind the mysterious visitation.
As the crews of these ships venture into the unknown, they are forced to confront the darkness of the universe and the limits of human understanding. With its smart, dark and gripping narrative, Firefall redefines the First Contact story and sets a new standard for science fiction.
With its state-of-the-art science and thought-provoking themes, Firefall is a gripping and unmissable read that will keep you on the edge of your seat from page one.
