Cold Star

ColdStar

By R. C. Ducantlin

NT is a struggling writer whose insatiable curiosity uncovers a horrifying truth.

A plan to save the planet by releasing a "miracle cure" for influenza that is engineered to exterminate billions.

When a covert counter-terrorism strike team discovers NT knows too much, they face a choice: silence him or recruit him. They choose the latter.

Even with NT on their side, the team fails to stop the distribution of the cure. Before billions perish, the unexpected happens. The "cure" sets off an evolution in the human condition, reawakening ancient abilities long forgotten.

Across cultures, history is filled with stories of human consciousness transcending time and space. Our ability to connect across space-time had atrophied — no longer. The newfound powers set unimaginable events into motion, opening the door to a future no one expected.

Eliminate everything impossible, then ask: What is left? The truth is in the remainder.

How did humanity become an interstellar species? It began with a planned genocide that unlocked the full potential of the human mind.

NT was there to witness it all — and to write it down.
