* 2025 Readers' Favorite Five Stars The space elevator is gone. New Hope colony's lifeline to orbit—destroyed. Four light-years from Earth, Planet Equinox's survivors are trapped on the surface with dwindling supplies and no way to reach the ships in orbit. Starvation is weeks away. Despair has already arrived. Then salvation appears: the mothership Kon-Tiki, Earth's second colony ship, bringing fresh settlers and desperately needed supplies. But salvation comes with strings attached. General Leonard Bardick has arrived to "save" New Hope—but from what? Their resource crisis? Or their own refusal to follow his military authority? As Bardick consolidates power with an iron grip, colony leaders must decide: Is he their savior or their dictator? Meanwhile, engineer Freddie Ogunjobi makes a dangerous decision: return to the dark side of Planet Equinox where alien structures have been detected. What he discovers there will change everything humanity thought they knew about this world—and who really controls it. On Equinox, the Golden Rule isn't about morality. It's about power: whoever has the gold makes the rules. And Bardick has all the supplies.
