About This Book

Human expansion into space brings contact with luminous electromagnetic beings that warn of a hidden menace: remote Plutonian entities that drain life-energy across the void. After military expeditions fail, humanity accepts alien guidance and limits travel, yet a desperate counterplan emerges. The narrative alternates background exposition about the Varra and the Plutonian threat with tense action following an escaped prisoner who becomes embroiled in a hazardous voyage toward Pluto, exploring survival, moral compromise, and the collision between human determination and incomprehensible alien forces.
