In 1991, something answered.
For decades, humanity had listened to the stars. When a message finally arrived, it seemed like the greatest discovery in history. The world celebrated, then forgot. The message did not.
Mark Evans serves coffee by day and breaks into systems by night, a small-time hacker with big ambitions and an anonymous online follower who seems to know far too much about him. Dr Sarah Chen is building an artificial intelligence that could change the world, and is about to learn how badly others want it. Astrophysicist Dr Bob Weiss has noticed something impossible: a star nearly a thousand light-years away is growing dimmer.
None of them knows they are pieces in the same game. By the time they understand what came through the signal, it is already everywhere.
The Seed is the first book in the Synthetic Panspermia series, a hard science fiction thriller grounded in real astrophysics, cryptography and AI research. It is a story about the oldest vulnerability of all: our willingness to believe what we want to hear.
