Spaceship in a Bottle

A salvager discovers an alien starship, but that’s only the beginning.

Wiz Zumwalt has sunk his Navy pension into a beat-up ship in hopes of finding riches in the asteroid belts.
Only the days of the Asteroid Cowboys are over. Big Mining now has a firm grip on the mineral riches, and their economies of scale and resources make it almost impossible for the indie miner to survive.

Now, he has two days before his ship will be repossessed unless he can find a miracle.

And boy, does he find one.

On a nameless hunk of rock, his sensors detect the faintest traces of, well . . . something.

Not a human ship, but something alien. A long-running secret that upturns everything he’s always believed, one that could impact humanity’s very existence.

Mankind always believed it was alone. Every probe it ever sent out beyond the Oort Cloud sent back the same results… except those were a lie, created to trick humanity into believing the galaxy was empty.

But that was far from the truth.

As the alien ship takes off and sends Wiz across the stars and out of the solar system, he soon discovers the universe is teeming with life. Empires are at war, countless species among them, and humanity has been left on the sidelines.

The only question is, why? Why was humanity placed inside of a bubble?

Join Wiz on his amazing journey of discovery, danger, and enormous stakes as he uncovers the secrets of the universe, so far from his home. From multiple Nebula and Dragon Award finalist and USA Today Bestselling author Jonathan P. Brazee comes a brand new scifi series unlike any before it.
