How can you stop something that killed a planet?

Sent to negotiate an alliance with the alien species known as the Occassi, the diplomats of the ES Votum awaken from their 135 year voyage to find a dead world and a silent universe. With 12,000 colonists still in hypersleep aboard their vessel, the team must embark on a new mission: to solve the mystery of the Occassi’s extinction and somehow make their world habitable again. As tenuous exploration quickly devolves into desperate survival, one man must achieve the impossible: to turn the husk of a dead world into the cradle for humanity’s future.

Tragic, philosophical, and deeply inspiring, Near Death Horizon takes readers through hell and back out again.
