In the Silence of Space, A Hero Rises
Ever wonder what it's like to be all alone in space for fifty years?
You're alone in space for 50 years, with your ship heading towards a dangerous planet. What do you do?
Meet Ethan Bryant, the reluctant hero of our tale. Once destined for a bright future on the planet Minea with his family, Ethan finds himself trapped in a nightmare of isolation and uncertainty. Enduring fifty years alone in the vastness of space was never part of the plan, yet circumstances have conspired against him, leaving him the unlikely caretaker of a ship hurtling towards an unknown world.

Fifty years in space—alone.
Ethan Bryant was supposed to fall asleep on a ship leaving Earth and wake up fifty years later with his family on the planet Minea. Instead, after the ship’s caretaker—the lone human in charge of monitoring the ship’s vital systems—suddenly died, the ship’s computer locked Ethan out of his stasis chamber and gave him the job. That was five years ago. Five years of checking to make sure everything runs smoothly on a ship Ethan knows almost nothing about.
Who wouldn’t dread the years ahead? Who wouldn’t long for their once-bright future now stolen away?
Ethan is resigned to his fate until the ship suddenly wakes up another passenger: a beautiful engineer who, along with Ethan, soon discovers a horrible secret—a navigation room hidden from even the ship’s computer. The ship is not bound for Minea—but to somewhere far more dangerous.
With the ship nearing its sinister destination, Ethan soon learns he is the only one who holds the key to saving all 4,000 passengers from a highly-advanced, hostile alien race.
