Just after midnight, astronomy professor Daniel Grayson and his students detect something inside the orbit of HD 128311: an octagon.
Nature does not make octagons.
It was decelerating – intentionally. And it was on an intercept path with Earth.
Over the next eight days, Daniel – and his best friend, Jack – would meet a monarch, a young aerospace captain, and a visitor who carried in her the grief of a woman who died 12,000 years ago. The visitor would pose a question they – and the world – would finally need to answer. It was one philosophers had pondered for two thousand years: Can society learn to keep a promise?
Book 1 of The Fiduciary Alliance introduces a series in the tradition of Carl Sagan’s Contact and Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem that blends science fiction, political thriller, and fiduciary tradition.
