Escape the Earth

In 2030, a rogue planetoid was discovered on a collision course with Mars, its impact set to unleash devastation across the inner solar system. Governments faltered, paralyzed by politics and denial, while a coalition of scientists and visionaries built their own future: Project Starshot. Decades of struggle led to the creation of UNS Baiame, a massive sleeper ship now waiting in orbit, ready to carry humanity’s last hope beyond the solar system. As the protagonist prepares to board a sleek ALBATROSS SSTO for the ascent, the weight of the mission settles in—Earth is dying, and survival lies among the stars. But deep space holds dangers no one could predict.
