Starfall Awakened

An Epic Galactic Space Opera.

Nobody is dead. Nobody is coming back.

Two thousand people vanish from a mining colony without a signal, a body or a trace. Then a belt of asteroid miners. Then a whole colony. Entire towns go quiet at once, tables set and lamps still lit.

Commander Elias Vorn has just won a war by learning to answer. Now he must find the place where the answers don't reach.

General Corin Vex built it. He calls it the Rest, a refuge outside the reach of the Silence, where the tired go to sleep and the dead are never lost. Thousands walk in willingly. The Assembly is deadlocked. The Remnant are afraid of what they once made. And a sixteen-year-old girl is holding the whole thing up alone.

The Herald's Core has a warning: the longer the door stays open, the more people will follow.

To bring them back, Elias must go where no call can follow him. And he must find out whether a fleet, a fractured Commonwealth, and one stubborn old promise can carry two hundred thousand people home.

Perfect for fans of gripping military space operas, emotional character-driven sci-fi, and galaxy-spanning stakes.
