Eclipsed System

When the Sun is wounded, the future shatters.

In the distant future, Travis Young, an astrophysicist, investigates a hypothetical space-time window from a lunar station when something dense plunges into the Sun.

Back on Earth, the Assembly moves to smother the truth. Intelligence Officer Lucas Sato demands silence. When Travis refuses, his access vanishes, and his technician disappears into a controlled facility. He turns to Laura Rhode, his childhood confidante and a biochemist, whose stubborn faith in God unnerves him as much as he loves her. While Travis sees a distinct danger about Earth’s habitability, Sato shadows him, convinced the space-time window could open a bridge to an unseen realm—one where he may reach his deceased wife. Driven underground, Travis allies with Flood, an exile district, and St. Jude’s, a faith community that holds a fragile truce between rival powers.

Will Laura return Travis’s love? Can he and his friends outwit the Assembly before the Sun’s injury erases Earth’s future for good?

Part science thriller, part spiritual reckoning, this is the story about human nature, sin, and redemption in a world under a wounded star.

Note: This book received the 2026 Christian Book Excellence Award. Here is the comment from one of the judges:
"As an avid sci-fi fan, I never knew Christian science fiction could be this good... Rather than relying solely on futuristic technology and elaborate world-building, the novel thoughtfully explores humanity's deepest questions about truth, redemption, sin, sacrifice, and hope... I haven't been this captivated by a work of science fiction since reading Ted Chiang's Exhalation and Stories of Your Life and Others (the collection that inspired Arrival). In the Christian publishing space, I would place it alongside other thoughtful, idea-driven works such as C.S. Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet..." - Leah B.
