About the Trilogy
The Watchers of Silence Series 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 secretly builds a faster-than-light spacecraft beneath a barn in Jämtland, reaches Proxima Centauri, and exposes a recursive mathematical signal buried in the cosmic microwave background.
Series Reading Order
- Warden of SilencePublished
In the frozen, isolated forests of Jämtland, Sweden, Henrik Ekström hides a fully functional faster-than-light spacecraft beneath his barn. After travelling to Proxima Centauri and back, his proof to the Swedish government triggers a geopolitical crisis and points humanity towards a signal buried deep in the cosmic microwave background.
- 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.
Series Themes
The Watchers of Silence Series is written for readers who want science fiction with pressure, plausibility, and moral consequence. The books focus on technology, secrecy, discovery, state response, alien intelligence, survival, and the point where wonder becomes responsibility.
