Starborn Alive: The Catalyst

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

An ancient alien artifact. Two sisters. A desperate journey for survival in a galaxy on the brink.

In 2249, Earth is dying. Political fragmentation and environmental collapse have scattered humanity across fragile orbital cities and distant colonies. When an alien artifact is discovered on asteroid 16 Psyche, it sparks betrayal, unrest, and a ruthless scramble for power.

Nova Clearwater, once shielded from responsibility, is forced to flee into deep space, carrying knowledge others will kill to suppress. Meanwhile, her sister Amalie is helping her the best she can, but the sisters are soon separated. On the run, Nova is pushed deeper into mystery and peril, gaining allies and losing them along the way. Amalie remains on Earth, caught in the crossfire of rising powers, her fate hanging in the balance.

Set against a backdrop of sleek spacecraft, decaying space stations, and haunting alien ruins, Starborn Alive weaves the sweeping scale of space opera with the emotional depth of a character-driven drama. It explores themes of identity, legacy, ambition, and the high cost of survival in a universe where morality blurs and trust is a luxury.

For readers who love layered relationships, moral complexity, and richly imagined worldbuilding, Starborn Alive offers an immersive sci-fi experience that blends thrilling action with thought-provoking questions about power, sacrifice, and what it means to be human.


When I finished, I went, ”Well, crap, now I have to wait for the next book.” 

This definitely gives The Expanse vibes. 


Book Two, Starborn Alive: Cracks, will continue the saga in early December 2025.
