Major Grayson Wolfe never asked to be humanity’s envoy to the Zorathi—a race of serene, enigmatic beings whose crystalline architecture pulses with memory and emotion. Now stationed in a living alien base buried beneath the Greenland ice, Grayson is caught between diplomacy and dread, tasked with ensuring peace in a world that reads his thoughts like pages in an open book.
As the walls record every echo of fear, hope, and buried trauma, Grayson and a fractured team of soldiers, scientists, and alien allies must navigate a political alliance built on secrets—and a war looming beneath the surface of civility. While Earth's leaders celebrate victory, Grayson knows better: the Zorathi don’t forget... and the base isn’t just watching. It's listening.
But when a mysterious ancient ship awakens in orbit, carrying a memory older than Earth itself, the mission spirals into something deeper. What begins as diplomacy becomes survival—of identity, of sanity, and of humanity's place in the stars.
