In The Wind
By Devin K. Asante

The world didn't end with a bang. It ended in silence.

After World War III reduced nations to ash and the climate turned against its creators, Earth became a dying planet clinging to the last threads of civilization. Just when humanity believed it had seen the worst, a signal arrived-from deep space.

No voice. No explanation. Just a countdown.

Now, with twenty sunrises left until contact, the newly formed Federation of Nations must confront not only an approaching alien force, but the weight of its own secrets: a buried spacecraft, a long-dead visitor, and a century-old cover-up. At the center of it all stands General Ji Min, tasked with leading a fractured world into the unknown.

As old powers clash and survival plans ignite behind closed doors, one truth becomes clear-whatever is coming is beyond human comprehension.

And it's already on its way.

In The Wind is a haunting, high-stakes sci-fi thriller that explores first contact through the lens of planetary trauma, political intrigue, and a fragile hope for redemption. Perfect for fans of The Three-Body Problem, Arrival, and Battlestar Galactica.
