The Ninth Day – Kobo eBook

Five billion years from now, the sun has swollen into a red giant. Andromeda has merged with the Milky Way. Mercury and Venus are gone. Saturn has lost its rings.

And humanity is still searching for answers.

When a battered, ancient relic drifts back into range, the last surviving remains of Voyager 2, a crew of cloned cosmonauts is sent through a fragile, second-generation wormhole to trace it to its source. What they find is a dead end: a target planet with no trace of the civilization they hoped to meet, and mounting suspicion that something, or someone, sabotaged the mission from the start.

Stranded, running low on resources, and with one crew member trapped in a vegetative state, the team’s only hope is a new wormhole reforming on the far side of a dangerous star, one plagued by inexplicable glitches that threaten to strand them for good.

Then a signal awakens from two distant ocean moons.

What begins as a detour becomes a crash landing, a lost connection with their orbiting counterpart, and first contact with something ancient, aquatic, and utterly unexpected.

THE NINTH DAY, the sequel to THE EIGHTH DAY, asks the questions that have haunted humanity since it first looked up: Are we alone? Is God still writing the story? And when we finally meet what’s out there, will we be ready?

The search for life is on. Step into the wormhole and find out what they discover.
