The scariest thing about leaving Earth isn't what's out there. It's who's sealed inside the rocket with you. Mattias Kessler had always dreamed of funding a mission to Mars. With a fortune nearing the trillions, he knew he could make it happen-but he never stopped to ask if he should. He chose five brilliant, ambitious astronauts for humanity's first crewed mission to the red planet. What they could accomplish was all that mattered to him. The wounds they carried, the traumas they had buried-he didn't care to look. Not a single one of them had passed their psychological evaluation. Captain Steve had spent his life being the person others leaned on-steady, certain, unshakeable. What the crew doesn't know is that he lost faith in himself just before launch. As his private doubts grow, so does the chaos around him. Harold, the soft-spoken architect, can make you feel safe just by walking into a room. He believes his sensitivity is a strength, not a liability. Miguel, resentful he wasn't chosen as captain, finds the isolation of deep space warping his sense of reality. And Deepika and Cressida are opposites in almost every way-yet both are chasing the same elusive approval. If they could only see how alike they really are, they might be the reason the other survives. Four of these astronauts come home from Mars. The fifth? That's a secret they'll take to their grave. Infinity Frontiers is a haunting, character-driven science fiction novel about isolation, psychological unraveling, and the uncomfortable truth that the most dangerous thing about leaving Earth was never the darkness outside the hull-it was always the people within it.
