An alien distress call, nervous world leaders, and betrayal of the highest order … Jim Atteberry is a single parent college professor, laboring over an endless pile of essays while indulging in his radio astronomy hobby. But when he hears a distress call from the Ross 128 star system, he is hurled into a deadly mystery. And what he discovers could save the world… or destroy it.

Still reeling from this unexpected cry for help, Atteberry engages the help of Dr. Esther Tyrone, a skilled deep space scientist with a dark past of her own, to unravel the truth behind the Rossian signal. Faith and science collide as the pair struggles to understand the global impact of the alien’s technology.

But Atteberry’s discovery doesn’t go unnoticed by those who lurk in science’s deepest shadows, and immediately they are forced to run from corporate militia and their own scientific leaders who will stop at nothing to acquire his knowledge. Against a backdrop of betrayal and political upheaval, Matt and Esther’s time is running out.

A spellbinding near future tale set amidst the ambition and corruption of Big Science, and the essence of what it means to be human, The Crying of Ross 128 challenges beliefs as old as humanity itself…and as current as today’s headlines.
