He thought they were just stories. He was wrong. Aaron Larsson’s life is quiet and ordinary. A devoted father and passionate astrophysicist, he spends his nights writing sci-fi stories. Lately, the ideas follow him like whispering visions throughout the day. Then, one rainy day, strangers appear—speaking impossible words only he should know. They ask for his help to stop a cosmic force he can’t begin to comprehend. Aaron is forced to make an impossible choice: his family or his future—and to question everything he thought he knew in order to prevent the unthinkable.
