About the Trilogy
The Warden Trilogy is a three-book hard science fiction sequence built around credible systems, technological consequence, first contact pressure, and the human cost of knowing too much.
The trilogy begins with Warden of Silence, where Henrik Ekström uncovers an impossible starship beneath a lonely farm in northern Sweden and discovers patterns in the cosmic microwave background that suggest humanity was never alone.
Series Reading Order
- Warden of SilenceIn editing. In the frozen hush of northern Sweden, Henrik Ekström keeps to himself on a lonely farm until a starship of impossible design rises from beneath his barn. Built in secret from materials no one can source, shaped by dreams he cannot explain, and completed with a sarcastic onboard AI, Henrik has done what no nation dared. When he uncovers patterns buried in the cosmic microwave background, he realises he did not just build a vessel. He rang a bell.
- Book 2Outlined. The consequences of first contact expand beyond one farm and one impossible machine. National systems, private loyalties, hidden knowledge, and competing agendas begin to collide as the discovery becomes too large for any single government, institution, or witness to contain.
- Book 3Planned. The trilogy closes around survival, responsibility, and what humanity becomes after the silence breaks. The final book resolves the sequence through the cost of contact, the burden of knowledge, and the choices left when discovery can no longer be reversed.
