The Researcher: A Novella - Paperback

Desperate to reignite her love for space in order to get her PhD, Beatrice Janczewski booked a month in a cabin five hours away from the city and brought nothing but food, clothes, and books. No internet, no tv, no phone. Just her and the Milky Way. And the meteor that disrupts her on her first night there.

To Beatrice, it's perfect. Her very own private asteroid, just what she needed to jump-start her love for her field again. But when she gets to the crash site, she's met with something much more interesting and much more terrifying: a nearly-perfect UFO, shimmering with strange crystals producing their own energy.

Before long, Beatrice finds herself lost a world far beyond our own. When the lines start to blur and her hunger for knowledge becomes ravenous...will she ever be able to free herself from the hold she finds herself in?
