Science Fiction | Thriller


It’s been over sixty‑five million years since the Eriophora has encountered another ship from Earth.

Eriophora is one of a handful of converted asteroids building jump gates for a glorious human diaspora that never materialized. The crew were genetically optimized for lives passed in an eternity in stasis. But for a few precious moments every millennium or two, the Chimp—the ship’s intentionally underpowered AI—encounters a problem it can’t handle on its own.

After thwarting a mutiny against Chimp, Viktor Heinwald is awakened to find the fellow wormhole‑builder Araneus right in their path, derelict and impossibly off‑course. Even more impossibly, there’s a monstrous survivor.

For millennia, strange lifeforms emerged from the wormholes and chased the Eriophora after a build. Now one’s finally caught up and has convinced the Chimp it’s human.

There’s a gremlin on board.
