Seven crew members. One impossible journey. A discovery that will rewrite everything.
In 2055, the brane regions—impossible galaxies discovered by JWST in the early 2020s—emit a signal across billions of light-years. Humanity’s response: send seven specialists beyond the cosmic membrane aboard The Observer, powered by the first Casimir drive.
Commander Maya Nakamura leads cosmologists, physicists, and engineers into a realm where ancient, fully formed galaxies exist billions of years too early—structures that violate every law of cosmology. Their mission: cross the membrane at the edge of our universe and find out why something is calling.
But in a region where causality bends and observation itself becomes uncertain, the crew will discover that some questions change you in the asking. And something is waiting—something that will force them to question everything they thought they knew about reality.
Some discoveries can’t be unmade. Some questions shouldn’t be answered. And some journeys change you at a level deeper than memory.
Observable is hard science fiction for readers who crave the intellectual rigor of Ted Chiang and the reality-bending complexity of Christopher Nolan—a story where cutting-edge physics drives profound human transformation.
The truth is out there. But are we ready to become what it takes to see it?
