From New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson comes Nether Station, a thrilling mix of epic science fiction and Lovecraftian horror.

Space is vast. Space is full of wonders. Space is terrifying.

In the darkest part of the solar system lies a wormhole. Nether.

Astrophysicist Cammie Skoura has joined the first research team traveling to the Nether anomaly, eager to understand the mechanics of the wormhole and to explore its possibilities as a shortcut to Alpha Centauri.

But another race of ancient beings has already been here—an impossibly long time ago—leaving remnants of their vast complexes and gigantic temples built for horrific beings beyond comprehension.

What dangers did those elder races find in the hidden corners of spacetime?

What did they unleash?

And what remains?

Now, Cammie and the crew of Nether Station must find the answers—before the darkest part of the cosmos swallows them up ...

      Nether Station is an experiment in genre mash-ups: space adventure meets cosmic horror. A wormhole is discovered in the Kuiper Belt, and an ultrarich tech mogul funds an expedition to explore it. After a series of eerie and unsettling experiences, the crew find themselves fighting for survival against an ancient and eldritch threat. In Anderson's (Persephone, 2024, with Jeffrey Morris) experienced hands, this combination of genres is certainly fun. The book features a neurodivergent lead who brings a different perspective to a type of story so often dominated by neurotypical adventure heroes, adding a welcome new dynamic to the proceedings. The tech mogul is an obvious reference to Elon Musk, but Anderson doesn't allow him to become an easy caricature; he's fully fleshed out and multifaceted. The remaining cast is no less unique, and it's satisfying to see how they all rise to the occasion. Anderson's world building remains top-notch, and the pacing is propulsive. All in all, a successful experiment.

      Anderson (Gods and Dragons) begins this Lovecraftian science-fiction epic by setting up an intriguing premise, describing the discovery of a wormhole at the edge of the solar system. A team of scientists, headed by the egomaniacal businessman Benedict Noor, leaves to explore and understand the anomaly, hoping that the wormhole will be a bridge between galaxies. The tension increases as problems plague first the crew and then their spaceship, leaving them stuck at the edge of known space with a grim and disturbing mystery. The joy of Anderson's novel is in watching how far it pushes against the horrors of the universe, including tentacle-headed ancient gods and bug-driven alien civilizations. The narrative's pitch-perfect ending delivers on its atmospheric buildup, leaving as an open question whether humanity will survive its brush with the cosmos's hidden dangers. VERDICT This is a delightfully creepy sci-fi novel.--Jeremiah Rood
