    Summary

    A response.

    Something—or someone—has answered a question humanity has been asking for years: Are we alone in the universe?

    At 3:47 a.m., during what should have been an ordinary night shift at the Houston Control Center, Iris Vega detects an impossible signal. At first, it seems like an error. Then, a coincidence. But the more they analyze it, the clearer the truth becomes: it is a response.

    What should have been the greatest discovery in human history soon becomes something far more unsettling. Because the signal doesn't bring hope, friendship, or promises of a better future.

    It brings a warning.

    And perhaps humanity was never meant to hear it.
