Publisher's Synopsis
Crimson Swarm is a gripping tale of survival, fractured ideology, and the quiet terror of an incomprehensible alien intelligence. When humanity is thrust into contact with the Veil-a force of infinite patience and unknowable intent-a fragile colony must decide whether to resist, adapt, or surrender.
Karl, a retired militia commander, struggles to overcome the ghosts of past failures while contending with the Veil's slow, relentless influence. Dane, an idealistic rebel, refuses to yield-even as the lines between resistance and transformation begin to blur. As alliances fracture and loyalties erode, both men must confront a world that is becoming something neither of them fully understands.
For readers of Adrian Tchaikovsky, Peter Watts, and Ursula K. Le Guin, Crimson Swarm is a slow-burn science fiction novel that explores first contact, psychological collapse, and the unraveling of identity at the edge of human expansion.
This is not a story of conquest. It's a story of transformation-of what we become when we reach too far, too fast.
