Publisher's summary
In the vast unknown of space, one ship’s journey will change the fate of the universe.
In the middle of the 21st century, humanity took its first step toward the stars. A brilliant scientist unlocked the secret to faster-than-light travel, leading to the creation of The Horizon—the most advanced ship ever built. Its mission: to explore the furthest reaches of the galaxy, uncover its mysteries, and safeguard the fragile balance of the cosmos.
But as The Horizon and its diverse crew venture deeper into uncharted space, they encounter more than just new worlds. They face ancient civilizations, powerful cosmic forces, and the harrowing truth that every choice they make carries unimaginable consequences. With each new discovery, they realize that their mission is not just one of exploration but of survival—and that the stakes are far higher than they ever imagined.
From the haunting echoes of forgotten worlds to the labyrinthine depths of time itself, Dawn of the Horizon takes readers on an epic journey through the stars. Filled with thrilling adventures, profound sacrifices, and the relentless pursuit of knowledge, this book is a must-read for fans of classic science fiction and space exploration.
Join the crew of The Horizon as they navigate the mysteries of the universe, confront their own inner demons, and make the ultimate sacrifices to protect all that exists. The stars await, but the journey is only beginning.
Perfect for fans of Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and modern space epics, Dawn of the Horizon is the first book in an exciting new series that will leave you questioning what lies beyond the edge of the galaxy.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Benjamin, Mark, and Chloe were all set to graduate college in a few weeks. Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay to use as cover art for a book he was writing. It looked really cool, like a slightly charred old military artifact from 70 years ago. It was possibly part of an engine. After cleaning it up (it was found in a cow field), he placed the strange device on his dorm room desk directly over the wireless charging port. That woke it up. Unknown to him, the disabled starship hiding on the moon could now communicate with the missing part. The ship needed two things: 1) The missing ...

Captain Keyes is loved by the public but hated by Command. He captains the UHS Providence, an aging supercarrier and the last human ship not dependent on dark tech - technology humanity has used to rule over the galaxy since barely defeating the Ixa in the First Galactic War. Dominance has come at a cost. Over the decades, old allies have grown resentful, and when dark tech itself fails, Captain Keyes’ predictions start coming true: those old allies are now enemies.

First Sergeant Draven, trying to hold his company of Zolarian citizen soldiers together, has been on the desolate planet of Zhogalgan longer than Bannon. He's seen even more. Yet while they are both there as peacekeepers, they are not there to help each other.
