Starbound: Echoes of the Void

Lieutenant Kael Voss is a signal officer aboard a deep-space survey vessel when she discovers something in the void that shouldn’t exist: a three-thousand-year-old transmission, deliberately encoded, calling across the darkness from an unknown source. What begins as a single unauthorized act of curiosity — turning back toward a signal her commanders have been ordered to ignore — becomes first contact with an ancient civilization, a galaxy-spanning mystery, and a choice that will define humanity’s place in the universe.
