A pebble that defies physics.A family on the brink.A world on the edge of chaos.When nine-year-old Aden Andersen discovers a glowing, gravity-defying stone in the Colorado foothills, it sparks more than scientific curiosity-it ignites a chain reaction of secrecy, surveillance, and systemic power plays.Ben, a sidelined engineer, sees the artifact as a chance to redeem his shattered career. His wife Sarah, a sharp-minded finance strategist, sees a threat-one that could fracture their family and attract global attention. As energy readings spike and official silence deepens, the Andersens are drawn into a high-stakes struggle stretching from their backyard shed to classified labs and corporate war rooms.Told through intersecting perspectives and grounded in real-world science, The Pulse Stone is a slow-burn speculative thriller about trust, control, and the cost of discovery.Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Dark, and The Three-Body Problem, this first book in The Vossium Series asks: What happens when control fails quietly-and the future begins without permission?A speculative thriller where hard science fiction meets intimate family drama.
