The Second Genesis

The world didn't end with war.

It ended with surrender.

People stopped believing tomorrow would be better. Governments lost control. Billionaires became kings. And Victor Maltheron quietly built the most powerful corporate empire in human history.

Then something impossible entered the Solar System.

An object older than human civilization.

Not a weapon.

Not a meteor.

A question.

As governments, militaries, and private empires race to control the greatest discovery in human history, former Army Ranger David Mallet is pulled into a conflict he never asked for.

At the same time, his past returns in the form of a sixteen-year-old daughter he never knew existed—a girl carrying wounds of her own, and one more reason David can no longer walk away from the world.

But the intelligence that has arrived from the stars is not here to conquer humanity.

It is watching.

Measuring.

Waiting to see what mankind chooses when survival is no longer guaranteed.

Victor Maltheron believes humanity's future belongs to whoever is strong enough to take it.

David believes there has to be another way.

Between them stands a dying world, a divided species, and a discovery powerful enough to either save civilization—

or expose exactly why it was never worth saving.

The Second Genesis

To gain something,
sometimes you have to lose everything.
