About this audiobook
Far enough from home, the stars stop meaning anything
The night before she leaves, Yael makes a promise. Tomás holds it like a stone in a stream.
When the Meridian crosses into deep space, something begins to change. Not the instruments — those read green. Not the biometrics — those stay nominal. Something quieter. The stories get shorter. The humming stops mid-note. The crew performs its work with a precision that looks, from the outside, exactly like competence.
The crew is fine. The crew is healthy. The crew is performing all functions within expected parameters.
In a sealed lab eleven floors below the galleria, quantum physicist Elara Voss watches the numbers and knows what the numbers cannot say.
All Systems Nominal is a science fiction story about consciousness — what it is, where it lives, and what happens when we go beyond its reach. It is also a love story, a mystery, and one of the quietest horror stories you will ever read.
