“Cosmic game board like no other. Astonishing. Brilliant. Unsettling. Stunning.”
Janny Wurts, author of the series, The Wars of Light and Shadow

“The power of J.A.J. Minton’s imagination and storytelling cannot be overstated.”
Esmay Rosalyne, Grimdark Magazine

“Discovery transcends genre to explore the big questions about our place in all this vastness. And we might not want to hear the answers.”
Philip Chase, author of The Edan Trilogy and host of The Best of Fantasy

“Discovery is my book of the year: an utterly exhilarating and endlessly imaginative story which words fail to fully capture. This story will kidnap you, take you hostage for days, and you will be happy it did.”
Timothy Hickson, author of A Catalog for the End of Humanity and host of Hello Future Me

“This book helped us ‘discover’ one thing: J.A.J. Minton created a masterpiece. The plot is fresh and thrilling from start to finish. World-building is brilliantly realized. Discovery blew our minds.”
Austin & Richard, 2 to Ramble

In 1992—the dawn of the age of technology—a disgraced game show host, Manny di Martini, dreams of a comeback: a deep-sea TV special in the South Pacific. But he bites off more than he can chew, attracting the attention of a cosmic being with a very big secret. When Manny's video shocks the world with proof of a sleeping alien in a ruined underwater city, humanity freaks out.

As humanity bumbles through the apocalypse, a team of misfit heroes emerges:

• A determined news researcher in way over her head.

• A brilliant computer science professor with dangerous ideas.

• A sassy orphan with a mysterious past and bizarre abilities.

• A drug-addled teen who stumbles upon a supernatural artifact.

• A precocious girl who descends from a prophet of a peculiar religion.

• A sports-car-loving nun whose past holds answers for them all.

These are the heroes who must prepare for the cosmic war to come. Are they prepared for the war that not only threatens Earth but also the very fabric of reality?

J.A.J. Minton is the pen name for Jakob, Amy, and John Minton, a family living in North Carolina. Together, they produce and host the YouTube channel, "Talking Story: A Fantastical Fiction Channel." Between them, they have lived nine lives in theatre, comic book retail, indie filmmaking, academia, undercover shopping, dog kennel cleaning, advertising copywriting, old-school video store management, and hot dog delivery for Harlan Ellison. This is their first book.
