When Colin awakens from a mysterious coma bearing strange symmetrical wounds and traces of an unknown green substance, his life-and humanity's fate-take a dramatic turn. What begins as a story of survival becomes an interstellar journey of discovery after Colin encounters the Arcadians, an advanced alien race struggling to save their dying planet. Through an artifact known as The Orb, Colin gains access to unimaginable knowledge and technology that could alter the course of human civilization. As he grapples with the moral and existential consequences of his newfound power, Colin is forced to confront not only hostile alien forces but also humanity's own fear, greed, and reluctance to change. With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, The Orb explores what happens when enlightenment collides with corruption-and whether knowledge truly brings salvation or destruction. Blending science fiction, suspense, and human emotion, The Orb delves deep into the timeless questions of identity, progress, and our place in the universe.
