When scientist Jennifer Jones discovers an ancient alien vessel buried on the prairie, she enlists the help of researcher David Clarke to investigate its mysteries. As they work to unlock the ship's secrets, they make contact with souls who guide its reawakening - and are granted visions of vast galactic civilizations that once united the stars through a song of cooperation. 

Yet shadows loom too, of forces that would divide what should be one. Just as Jennifer and David glimpse hints of these threats approaching their world, they find themselves racing aboard the vessel for transport away from impending danger. Their destiny is transformed in an instant - catapulted into the vast unknown as self-appointed guardians, seeking to foster understanding between all forms of life, and uncover why hostility now threatens to impose upon their small blue planet.

So begins an epic tale of first contact, ancient wisdom, and two ordinary individuals thrust into roles as unlikely heroes on a journey that will span the heavens. As Jennifer and David embark on their mission to unravel cosmic secrets, dark powers are rising. And the fate of their entire world may hinge on whether two ordinary souls can become the bridge between stars.

Refugees of a dying world

Exhausted yet exhilarated, Jennifer and David emerged from the star-dome as twilight's purple hues stretched across the sky. Silently astride their bicycles, wheels crunching through tall grass dampened with dew, they pondered all that had transpired this fateful day.

Pedaling into the deepening dusk, questions swirled within their minds like the shifting constellations overhead. As cricketsong swelled and a great silvery moon rose above rippling prairie, Jennifer was gripped by a profound sense they were being watched - not by any earthly presence, but something vast and ancient peering down from the celestial sphere.

A shooting star blazed across the firmament, seeming to linger on the spot where the alien vessel lay just over the next rise. As one, the friends increased their pace, breathless with anticipation. What Messages in the Night might yet await them beyond the next horizon?

Dawn would reveal new mysteries, but for now a deeper layer of evening's mysteries had yet to be unraveled. Their unfolding adventure had only just begun...
