Event Black: a Space Exploration Science Fiction Novel
For three years, Argus-9 has orbited Janus, a black hole twenty-six light-hours past Neptune, harvesting energy no one else can touch. Then it went silent. Relativistic salvage engineer Jonah Reyes is sent with physicist Kaelen Park to find out why a billion-dollar Hawking rig stopped answering. What they find in orbit shouldn't exist: a perfect dodecahedron hanging motionless inside the accretion disk, where no matter should survive, broadcasting Jonah's own voice from a future that hasn't happened yet.
Helios Combine told them Argus-9 was a power station. Its black-box logs say it was a doorbell. The station wasn't built to study Janus. It was built to feed it, and Event Black was the moment they finally got a reply. As time slips - seven minutes on the station, seven hours outside - Jonah and Kaelen realize the forge inside the horizon isn't alien. It's a machine that eats information and rewrites the past to keep itself alive.
And Helios intends to drop Earth into its throat to see what comes out the other side. In Event Black, salvation requires flying into a place where physics ends, to destroy a future that has already sent back its survivors.
