ABOUT THE BOOKThe Summons blends real astronomical mysteries with chilling speculation to tell the story of humanity's first encounter with an alien intelligence.In 2017, the interstellar object ʻOumuamua passed through our Solar System and was dismissed as a comet. In 2019, Borisov followed-pristine, symmetrical, and strangely convenient. By 2025, a third visitor, 3I/ATLAS, arrived. Astronomers declared it a comet as well, but its improbable trajectory and sudden disappearance behind the Sun suggested otherwise.Through public accounts, personal vignettes, and declassified military dossiers, The Summons reveals a terrifying pattern: reconnaissance, seeding, insertion-and finally, judgment. When smartphones across the planet light up with cryptic commands, humanity finds itself not in control, but in receipt of orders it cannot ignore.Fusing hard science, military strategy, and unsettling plausibility, this novel asks the question no one dared to voice when the first object appeared: If it was a craft, then what?
