In the twenty-sixth century, humanity discovered it couldn't dodge a black hole wandering through the solar system. So it built a civilization to harness its momentum instead.

A convoy of resource asteroids and habitat rings has spent fifty centuries tethered to the inescapable gravity of the singularity—dubbed “the Primordial”—while on a trajectory toward Alpha Centauri. For over a hundred generations, their survival has been managed by an omnipresent artificial intelligence that has never made a single calculation error.

Until now.

In the seventy-sixth century, two engineering students accidentally awaken a founding aerospace specialist from a five-thousand-year cryogenic sleep. She’s the only person alive who remembers a time before total reliance on automation and the only one who recognizes the structural anomaly actively tearing their civilization off course. Trapped in the absolute void of the interstellar vacuum, she must save a species that has forgotten how to think for themselves before their world reaches its ultimate breaking point.

The Primordial is a fast-paced hard science fiction survival thriller. It is highly recommended for readers of Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, Cixin Liu’s The Three-Body Problem, and fans of Interstellar.
