★ Winner – Listeners’ Choice Award for Best Science Fiction ★

A global rift in space-time. All life on Earth vanished. Two survivors must uncover the truth before extinction becomes permanent.

Commander Vaughn Singleton thought he was visiting NASA’s most classified facility for a routine project. Instead, he steps into a nightmare: humanity has disappeared in an instant, leaving only echoes—and a cryptic message received seconds before the world went dark.

High above, astronaut Angela Brown watches the same apocalyptic event unfold from the International Space Station. A blinding wave of light, originating from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, engulfs the planet below. Everyone vanishes. Everyone but her.

On the ground, Vaughn battles isolation, alcoholism, and a growing dread as he scours a silent Earth for answers. When he discovers Angela is alive, he launches a desperate mission to reach her—aboard a retrofitted rocket cobbled together from scraps and hope.

But returning to Earth doesn’t bring clarity—it brings deeper mysteries. Gravity is failing near Geneva. Structures of unknown origin rise from the soil, manipulated by invisible forces. And something—or someone—is watching.

What Vaughn and Angela find will upend everything they know about reality. Because they are not alone… and extinction might not be the worst-case scenario.

Solitude is the award-winning first entry in the Dimension Space series, a high-octane blend of military science fiction, multiverse mystery, and survival adventure. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Expeditionary Force, and Live Die Repeat.

🗣️ Author’s Note

“I wrote Solitude after logging thousands of hours in helicopters and jets, wondering what it would feel like to return to a world that had moved on without you. The multiverse twist came later—when I realized just one Earth wasn’t big enough to tell this story.”
—Dean M. Cole
