Blog Post: Signal from the Void - A Hard Sci-Fi Journey Into the Unknown
Have you ever gazed into the night sky and wondered, "What might be out there, beyond the reaches of human exploration?" Signal from the Void, authored by Steve Ruben, is a chilling and immersive hard science fiction tale that dares to delve into those cosmic curiosities—and the terrifying consequences they might hold for humanity.
The Premise
The story begins with Maya Chen, a deep space communications officer stationed at a state-of-the-art research space station. Her life is routine—monitoring transmissions from distant stars, decoding signals from exploratory vessels—but everything changes when she intercepts a distress signal unlike any she's ever encountered. The signal, as she discovers, originates from a ship that mysteriously vanished 30 years ago. What's more disturbing? It's not coming from anywhere within our three-dimensional universe.
As Maya attempts to unravel the truth behind the message, she learns that the ship and its vanished crew aren't alone—they've brought something back, something that defies the laws of reality. The edges of her world begin to warp, and fractals of alternate dimensions invade her space station, bringing chaos and danger. Humanity's very survival hangs in the balance as Maya faces a gut-wrenching choice: respond to the call and risk unleashing the entity onto Earth, or sever the transmission and doom whatever remains of the crew to oblivion.
