A government agent investigates a cult while a probe vanishes beyond Pluto.
The Signalman, a government agent, arrives in Winslow, Arizona, on a hot morning to investigate a mysterious event. He meets a woman in a diner to discuss details that trouble him deeply. This investigation leads to the Children of the Next Level, a cult led by a figure who gathers the weak near the Salton Sea for transcendence. The narrative shifts to Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, which loses contact with NASA's New Horizons probe. Something beyond Pluto has made contact, prompting the Signalman and his agency to seek help from other sources. A woman outside of time observes the past and future to find a way to save humanity. Caitlin R Kiernan writes this tale of cosmic horror and government intrigue. The story blends bureaucratic procedure with supernatural dread. It suits readers who enjoy slow-burning mysteries involving cults and space anomalies. Those seeking fast-paced action or traditional ghost stories may find the pacing too deliberate.
