Excerpt from “The Bright New Day,” written by Scott Tipton and Sam Khushal.

“That star, that new star, hung in the sky for a week after the event. The Temple Ship burned in our atmosphere, sending down little bits of itself in chunks, turning into so much ash and dust. The alien threat, once the sole consuming thought of the human race, became just another note for history. A turning point. The year we lost so many, but gained something more. A sense of purpose. An understanding of our place in the universe. And the knowledge that, when everything came down to the line, the strength of humanity persevered.”
