The Dead Planet Broadcast

What if the first civilization to contact humanity had already been dead for ten thousand years?When astronomer Dr. Elara Voss intercepts an impossible transmission from the distant world of Orison, she assumes it's a hoax. Every scientific record proves the planet was annihilated millennia ago. Yet the voices answering Earth's questions are unmistakably alive-and they're responding in real time. As communication deepens, the people of Orison reveal an astonishing truth: they have been listening to humanity's broadcasts for decades.
Worse, they believe Earth is the civilization that has already perished. The impossible exchange ignites a global crisis. Governments race to control the technology hidden within the broadcast. Religious movements proclaim the end of death. Scientists begin rewriting the laws of physics. Then the voices start speaking directly to individuals, claiming to be deceased loved ones with messages from beyond extinction.
When Orison warns that Earth's Sun is only weeks away from triggering a civilization-ending catastrophe, Elara and her team must determine whether the warning is genuine-or the first move in a cosmic deception older than humanity itself. As reality begins to fracture and history itself starts to change, Elara faces an impossible choice: risk the future of every living person to reclaim the family she lost, or accept that some mysteries are too dangerous to answer.
The Dead Planet Broadcast is a thought-provoking science-fiction thriller that blends first contact, cosmic mystery, and emotional drama into a suspenseful exploration of memory, mortality, and what it truly means to survive. Perfect for readers of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Peter F. Hamilton, Blake Crouch, and Arthur C. Clarke, this standalone novel asks one unforgettable question:If a dead world called your name...
