Size: Paperback

In the farthest reaches of space, the crew of
Odyssey-1
embarks on what should have been a routine exploration. Their mission: investigate an unknown construct orbiting a dead star, a silent monolith that predates human civilization by millennia. But what begins as a historic scientific discovery soon descends into a terrifying unraveling of reality itself.
Commander Elias Voss leads a crew of brilliant minds, each eager to uncover the secrets of the construct. Yet, from the moment they set foot inside, something feels
wrong
. The air is too still. The walls seem to shift when unobserved. And then the whispers begin-faint at first, barely distinguishable from the hum of their own thoughts.
As the team probes deeper, time fractures, memories distort, and identities blur. Some see reflections of themselves that do not move in sync. Others hear voices speaking in a language that has never been spoken. And then, one by one, the crew begins to disappear-not violently, not suddenly, but as if they were never there to begin with.
The construct is not an abandoned artifact. It is alive. And it does not
communicate
. It
absorbs
.
Trapped in the grip of something beyond comprehension, Voss struggles to resist the inevitable. His body, his thoughts, his very sense of self begin to dissolve into strands of light, merging with an intelligence that is neither hostile nor benevolent-it simply
is
. What began as exploration has become an assimilation, a process that has repeated countless times across the universe. And now, humanity is next.
Decades later, long after
is declared lost, Earth receives a signal. It is not a distress call. It carries no message, no language. Only a pulse-steady, rhythmic,
waiting
For fans of
Annihilation
by Jeff VanderMeer,
Blindsight
by Peter Watts, and
2001: A Space Odyssey
,
The Absorption: There Is No Death
by Sandeep Chavan is a haunting blend of hard science fiction, cosmic horror, and psychological thriller. It challenges the very definition of consciousness, identity, and what it means to encounter something truly alien.
There is no escape. There is no return.
There is no death.
