One hundred forty-four thousand souls. One destination. One nightmare they never saw coming.

The starship Bella was supposed to be humanity's salvation, an interstellar ark carrying the last hope of a species toward the promise of Alpha Centauri. But deep in the cold vacuum of the void, something ancient and hungry is waiting.

Enter the Swarm: a sentient, multi-scalar parasitic collective that doesn't just kill-it assimilates. As the entity begins to systematically dismantle the ship's systems, weaving its alien biomass into the very hull of the vessel, Captain Jake Longhorn is thrust into a desperate fight for reclamation.

From the claustrophobic corridors of a dying ship to the digital frontiers of a compromised AI, Longhorn and a small team of specialists must endure psychic assaults and biological horrors to save what remains of their crew. With the help of a lethal retrovirus and experimental resonance weapons, they may have a chance to sever the alien nexus. But in the silence of space, every victory comes with a devastating price.

Alpha Centauri is a gripping masterpiece of cosmic horror and high-stakes science fiction that explores the terrifying limits of human resilience when faced with a galaxy-spanning design.
