They came seeking a new home. But beneath their perfection lies a secret that could unravel everything.

Navy SEAL Ben Sumner, haunted by the loss of his wife, is tasked with guiding Mila - a brilliant geneticist from the Hussqa, a race genetically human yet technologically superior. As neural augmentation spreads and ancient mysteries resurface, trust fractures and identity blurs. The Hussqa’s arrival marks not just a turning point in human history, but a reckoning with memory, grief, and survival.

Spanning three timelines—from a prehistoric forest to a near-future Earth and the centuries-spanning memory of an alien leader—What We Leave Behind is a genre-defying meditation on transformation, legacy, and the fragile architecture of humanity.

For readers who crave science fiction with soul, What We Leave Behind asks: what do we become when survival demands we redefine what it means to be human?
