2121: EXODUS book cover

In 2121, retired Space Force Colonel Theo Daniel wants nothing more than to work his Texas ranch in peace. A cybernetic arm, a dead best friend, and twenty-three years of nightmares are enough war for one lifetime.

But when a joint Chinese-Russian assault on Earth's orbital energy grid triggers a global catastrophe, Theo is pulled back into service — first to defend the planet, then to evacuate the survivors aboard humanity's last ark.

On the alien world of Lupus Stella, fourteen light-years from the ashes of home, the colonists discover they are not alone. Something ancient sleeps beneath the surface. Something that has been waiting. And the technology that saved them may be the beacon that summons their destruction.

Military science fiction with the heart of The Expanse and the cosmic dread of Blindsight.
