A novel of the far dark

DRIFT

Book One of The Outer Reach Series

Some distances are measured in light-years. Others open between two people in the same room. DRIFT follows Atlas into the void, where the only thing that can cross the space between human beings is a signal.

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration." — Nikola Tesla
About the Book

DRIFT is a literary science fiction novel about distance and connection — about what it costs to leave, what it takes to stay tethered, and whether a signal sent across the void can carry anything as fragile as love.

It is the first of four books in The Outer Reach, a series built on a single idea: frequency as connection. Every transmission is an act of faith that someone, somewhere, is still listening.
