Signal Beyond the Stars, When astronaut Elias Ward wakes one day too early aboard a deep space mission, he discovers his crew missing, the stars outside the ship unfamiliar, and a mysterious signal speaking through the spacecraft. The signal is not just a message from beyond the stars. It is an intelligence that has been observing humanity for centuries and is now testing whether our species deserves to explore the universe. As Elias races to save his crewmates, he realizes the fate of humanity’s future in space may depend on a single decision.
