The Cosmic Rule We Never Understood Until It Was Too LateWhy have we never seen aliens? The answer is not in the stars, but in our own violent history.
From the moment the first human used a rock as a weapon, a pattern was set. A secret law of the universe began to unfold, guiding or condemning our entire species.
This is the theory of The Range of Attack: the brutal, beautiful truth that a society only grows as large as its weapons can reach. From family feuds to world wars, every leap in human civilization was triggered by a leap in our power to destroy.
Now, that pattern has reached its final, terrifying step. As humanity teeters on the brink of creating a weapon that can shatter planets, a signal arrives from the edge of the solar system. A countdown begins.
Dr. Elara Vance, a disillusioned scientist, and Aris Thorne, a visionary warmaker, are locked in a race for humanity's soul. One seeks to communicate. The other seeks to conquer. Their battle will decide whether we are welcomed into a universe of ancient civilizations... or sealed forever in a cage of our own making.
