Planet 9 (Second Edition) - Paperback

Originally published in July 2024, this second edition has been revised throughout.

In 1965, an amateur astronomer named Rex Watson glimpses something impossible at the edge of the solar system, a Jupiter-sized planet hidden in darkness. Before he can tell anyone, he dies in a sudden plane crash, leaving behind only a journal.

Forty years later, his daughter Lisa finds it. What she discovers will upend her life, and everyone else's. The planet her father saw wasn't a mistake. It's real, it's heading straight for Earth, and some will do anything to keep the truth buried.

When Vincent Bragg (Viper), a man whose family has paid for that secret across three generations, forces the truth into the open, the world comes apart faster than anyone planned for. Nuclear strikes. A presidential broadcast. The last shuttle off Earth's surface. And aboard Apex station, Commander Pawan Patel finds himself holding people together-against a ruthless occupying force, a dying planet, and the debris of a moon tearing itself apart.

They have one damaged shuttle. No engines. And somewhere in the darkness between Earth and Mars, a ship called Crimson Horizon is racing to reach them before the math runs out.

The end of Earth is only the beginning.
