Village in the Sky will be released on January 31st....
An exploration starship discovers a village on a distant world. Lights are on, but oddly, there’s no sign of intelligent beings anywhere else on the planet. The vehicle is not cleared to make contact, so it simply reports what it has seen. A second vehicle proceeds to the world to make the judgment call, whether to say hello, or to keep its presence hidden. When it arrives, there is no village, and no indication there ever was one. Eventually the incident attracts the attention of Alex and Chase. They also find no sign it has ever existed, but they encounter a new kind of life.
