It was just a dot of lightย .ย .ย .
.ย .ย .ย a dot of light that appeared out of nowhere. Stephanie Bronson thought she might have found a distant supernova. Instead, what sheโd found was something more than a thousand miles across, moving towards the Sun at almost a third the speed of light from the constellation of Lupus, the Wolf. Even more frightening, the objectโcalled Fenrir, after the Norse Wolf of the Worldโs Endโwas slowing down. It was not a comet or even a rogue planet.
It was an alien vessel.
And despite the increasingly detailed and insistent messages of greeting from Earth, it showed no sign of responding. As the world braced itself for the arrival of the immense, frighteningly silent alien visitor, Stephanie held hope that they still might communicate withย Fenrirโuntil something happened that no one had imagined:ย Fenrirย flared and its drive died, leaving the huge ship careening out of control to a fiery death inside the orbit of Venus.
There wasโjust possiblyโa chance for Earth to actโto rescue the now-shipwrecked โFens.โ But even Stephanieโor those trying to stop her and the rescue shipย Carpathiaโcould not imagine that not merely the fate of the aliens, but that of Earth itself, would be decided byย Fenrir.
