InterstellarNet: Enigma

Book Three of the InterstellarNet Saga. Contact with other intelligent races in nearby star systems seemed to have answered the age-old question at the center of the Fermi Paradox: Where is everybody? But when Joshua Matthews lands a new job that will give him access to vast new troves of data on the subject, suddenly everything goes wrong for him. Someone is sabotaging his life. Finding out why leads in astonishing and dangerous directions. It is as if he has tugged on one thread, very gently--and caused everything humanity knows about its place in the universe to unravel, awakening the enmity of unsuspected ancient powers. Includes the 2015 Hugo-nominated novelette, Championship B'tok.
