Gold Rush

About the book

A group of astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery - an interstellar comet is heading straight towards Venus. The last time a collision of this magnitude captivated the public was when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter in 1994. However, as more observations are made, another comet is spotted on a collision course with Venus, leading to theories of potential extraterrestrial involvement. Meanwhile, NASA astronaut Dice Newman is en route to Venus to witness the impact, only to receive news of an alien spacecraft entering our solar system.

In the words of John David Borthwick in California in 1854, "Gold gave birth to cities and cemeteries alike."

The "FIRST CONTACT" series consists of individual novels that delve into the scenario of humanity's first encounter with alien beings. Drawing parallels to shows like BLACK MIRROR and THE TWILIGHT ZONE, each book in this series revolve around the same central theme rather than recurring characters, making them readable in any sequence. These novels delve into the various societal, political, religious, and scientific implications of grappling with the concept of First Contact.
