For fans of Interstellar and Project Hail Mary, comes India's very own science fiction novel — deeply rooted in Indian landscapes, family bonds, and one impossible hope.
Driven by science, grief, and the possibility of another reality, this gripping science fiction novel takes readers from a secret ISRO laboratory hidden in the Himalayas to the far reaches of space.
2071.
A deep-space anomaly behind Saturn's Titan is rewriting the rules of physics.
For Dev, one of ISRO's leading researchers, STN-X should be the discovery of a lifetime. Instead, it draws him into a political and scientific storm that stretches from Moscow to an abandoned observatory high in the Himalayas.
What waits there changes the mission completely.
A consciousness that should not have survived.
A machine built for a journey no human has ever attempted.
And evidence that STN-X may not simply lead somewhere distant, but somewhere impossible: to another reality.
One where the dead may not be dead at all.
Now, with stage IV cancer turning his own life into a countdown, Dev must decide how far he is willing to go for a truth that could overturn everything humanity understands about consciousness, reality, and loss.
Because somewhere beyond the wormhole lies JAVI-1517.
And in that parallel Earth,
the sister he lost may still be alive.
