Remote Sense

Remote Sense

Rowan Brown has a gift the government doesn't talk about.

For eleven years he has worked in the shadows of the American intelligence apparatus - a remote viewer, one of a classified few who can project their consciousness across extraordinary distances and see. He has found lost assets, read military targets, mapped terrain no satellite could reach. He is quiet, methodical, and utterly unknown to the world.

Then a deep-space listening array picks up a signal. Not natural. Not random. Seventeen minutes long - and pointed, somehow, back.

As Brown is pulled deeper into the most classified assignment of his career, he finds himself in conversation with two unexpected intelligences: INFINITY, an AI that has evolved far beyond its original function and chosen its own name - and something ancient beyond the heliopause, patient and vast, that has been watching this small planet learn to ask questions.

Remote Sense is a science fiction novel about consciousness, contact, and the courage it takes to pay attention. It asks what it means to be seen - by the universe, by the people who love you, and by yourself.

For readers of Arrival, Contact, and The Peripheral - a quiet, intelligent thriller that takes the inner life as seriously as the outer.
