The Pale Frequency

Twelve crew members. Forty-seven days of silence. One signal that should not exist.

When the deep-survey vessel ISV Persephone fails to make contact for seven weeks, Commander Elena Vasquez is dispatched on a rescue mission into the Kepler Expanse — a dead stretch of space between star systems where no one goes and nothing should be transmitting.

The Persephone's last logs tell a story that defies explanation. A signal. Coherent. Structured. Repeating. Something broadcasting from a source that matches no known star, pulsar, or natural phenomenon. And a crew that stopped running from it — and started listening.

What Vasquez finds at the edge of surveyed space will force her to question the nature of consciousness, the limits of human sanity, and whether some frequencies, once heard, can never be silenced.

The Pale Frequency is a slow-burn deep space horror novel told through recovered mission logs, psychological unravelling, and one woman's desperate search for the truth — in a place where the truth may be the most dangerous thing of all.

Perfect for fans of The Martian, Annihilation, Dead Space, and The Terror.
