TAU CETI
a Quantum Traverse Novel
The experimental spaceship Santa Maria’s inaugural mission, to recover the Voyager probes, seems mundane, truly a letdown for Humanity’s first interstellar-capable vessel — until it all goes wrong.
Now the ship is a wreck, the survivors held prisoner on an alien vessel, and Commander Jeffery Carter, along with second-in-command Michelle Patterson, must represent Humanity in the confusing and volatile political struggle of a crowded galaxy on the verge of war.
To make matters worse, a secret Human colony has been discovered orbiting Tau Ceti, further proof that we’re a dangerous, viral complication that just can’t be tolerated right now.
Forced to solve a deadly puzzle without all the pieces, and at odds with each other, Carter and Patterson are about to come face to face with the ugly truth that the greatest threat to Humanity is itself.
