GALACTICA rules the stars. SOLARR keeps them burning. CELESTICA decides what comes next.
Stanley Kleitos was a music producer. Then he opened the wrong door.
Now he's on the other side of the galaxy with no phone, no money and no way home — just a blank Suran poker face hiding everything he feels. And the strangest part? Somebody was expecting him.
CELESTICA, the empire's most feared organisation, has its eye on him. They study anomalies: a hallway that never ends, a radio signal from tomorrow, people who can bend reality with a thought. And they've offered Stanley a deal he can't refuse — join Broken Halo, a crew of misfits-for-hire, and report back on the one man in it he can't stand.
Meanwhile, eight candidates fight for the throne of a galaxy-spanning empire, and something far older than any of them is starting to wake up.
Stanley never asked to be part of something bigger.
But nobody ever asked him anything at all.
A slow-burn sci-fi mystery about anomalies, found family, politics, and figuring out who you are when nobody tells you what to do.
