IT DID NOT COME FOR US: The Last Orbit

About the book

Thirteen-year-old Leo Mercer notices a star dimming. What begins as an amateur astronomical observation becomes the discovery of something impossible: a living structure larger than the Sun moving through the Solar System. Humanity gives it a name because there is no useful word for what it is. It does not attack Earth. It does not threaten us, communicate with us or appear to know that we exist. Its gravity alone is enough to rewrite planetary orbits — and Earth is going to be captured. As scientists race to understand it and governments decide who gets a future, humanity confronts an extinction event with no enemy to defeat and nobody to blame. IT DID NOT COME FOR US is hard science fiction and cosmic horror about survival, scale and the terrifying possibility that the end of the world might not mean anything at all.
