Horizon of Stars

A haunting epic that fuses the fast rhythm of space operas with the eerie atmosphere of haunted house mysteries.

Soleyko is an engineer who has decided to leave behind her partner and her life on Earth to embark on a colonising mission on a ship with 200,000 other people. The ship has embarked on this expedition with the Idor, an alien race that cooperates with humans despite all the differences that separate them, from the most obvious, such as anatomical, to the most profound, such as their ability to fictionalise: the Idor’s world is divided between certainties and uncertainties.

Mid-journey, and light years away from reaching her final destination, Soleyko wakes up in her hibernation pod earlier than expected. The ship seems to have veered off course and, to make matters worse, the other passengers dozing in the adjacent pods are beginning to show mutations in their DNA; mutations that could have irrevocable consequences and jeopardise the colonisation expedition. A huge unidentified ship appears alongside them in space. All indications point to the fact that it is manned by the Ker, a highly intelligent civilisation with which they have had no previous contact.

Realising that this unexpected appearance and the alterations in the travellers’ DNA could be linked, Soleyko and the higher-ups launch an operation to enter the ship and unravel these mysterious events.
