Twice as Strange

Akiya and her crew investigate a signal from Kepler-442b and finds a life she has somehow already lived.

Captain Akiya Smithers arrives at Kepler-442b expecting a routine mission, not a message welcoming her home.

On the surface, she finds a luminous alien city…and four strangers who call her Mother. They insist she once lived here. Loved here. Chose this world. Akiya remembers none of it. But the planet seems to remember her.

Now, as impossible truths begin to surface, Akiya must decide whether to cling to the life she knows…or step into the one waiting beyond memory.

Some futures are written in the stars—and some are chosen.
