About this audiobook
Commander Elias Kessler died in space in 1997. So why did he wake up twenty years later in the Nevada desert?
NASA has the footage. The government held his funeral. His wife mourned him. But when Kessler regains consciousness in the desert with no memory of the missing decades, he knows something is terribly wrong.
Within minutes, a black-ops team finds him and takes him to a classified facility. The tests show impossible results—cells that heal too fast, a body that doesn’t register as entirely human, and a heat signature that flickers like unstable energy.
As fragments of memory return, Kessler realizes he isn’t the first astronaut to die and come back. Others have returned… different.
Now he’s being hunted by the same agency that buried the truth. And the more he remembers, the less human he becomes.
Perfect for fans of Arrival and Annihilation, The Astronaut Returns is an existential sci-fi thriller where identity becomes the ultimate mystery.
