Must Read
How far can you go before the silence breaks you?
Commander Solene Ellis has left Earth behind forever. Now she drifts through the void aboard the colony ship Nia Kvara, watching over 100,000 colonists in hibernation. Only Ava, the ship’s AI, keeps her company.
The voyage spans 3,000 years, but for Solene, time comes in fragments—brief wakeful stretches between long, frozen sleeps. Hours blur into decades. Memories unravel. In the stillness, she begins to lose track not only of time, but of herself.
And solitude in deep space doesn’t stay quiet for long. Whispers echo where no one should be. Shadows shift just beyond her vision. A mysterious vessel appears in the void. Even Ava starts to act… strangely.
As reality fractures, Solene must face a terrifying question: is something out there hunting them—or has her own mind become the true threat?
I loved Home Adrift, a story which will stay with me for some time to come.

A sci-fi book that will make you stop and think… a horror of being inside one's own mind and being locked away in space, in solitude, but with an AI companion.

I have to say that this is a high contender for my top ten, even top five, of 2025. It's so interesting, well written and with such a flow that I could not put this down. I loved Solene... If you are a fan of science fiction with substance this is one for you.

About The Author
The world is overwhelming. The lives we chase, the norms we follow, the time we lose, and the dreams we forget. I write to process, to understand, and to translate that noise into story.
My debut novel, HomeAdrift, explores isolation, identity, and the fragile line between perception and reality.
I'm currently writing my second novel, a standalone speculative dystopian project planned for publication in 2027.
"I am the emptiness between stars, the silence between heartbeats, the unseen space between atoms. It's an eternal non-moment, stretching out forever and ever. And I, a non-entity within it, simply am."
