The Return? - by Otto Shamborn (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In a desperate attempt to save a fragment of humanity, Earth launched its most ambitious self-sustaining space probe-Earth Escape Vehicle One (EEV1), "Victoria"-on a perilous journey to find a habitable world. The mission was presumed lost. But now, against all odds, after decades drifting through the void, Victoria has returned.

As the world watches in awe, legendary journalist Richard Greaberman is tasked with covering this historic event alongside rising star Sally Immosoto. Their live broadcast from Moon Station Far Side Rachmaninoff (MSFSR) will uncover the truth:

• Is Victoria a tomb, carrying the remains of lost astronauts?
• Or could there still be life inside this silent traveler?
• And what secrets does it bring from its journey across the stars?

Blending hard science fiction, deep human emotion, and journalistic intrigue, this novel explores the fate of those who dared to leave Earth-and what their return means for a planet that once abandoned them.

Fans of Interstellar, The Martian, and Arrival will be captivated by this breathtaking tale of survival, space, and the relentless human spirit.
