Metamorphosis from the Stars: Stellaris Book One

When the Stellaris returns from its three-year mission to Europa, Systems Engineer John Anderson eagerly awaits the homecoming of his brilliant wife, Dr. Emily Anderson. But the woman who steps off the spacecraft isn’t the same. She’s changed—literally.

Anomalous particles. A close encounter with a mysterious comet. A genetic transformation no one can explain. As Emily begins to lose not just her appearance but her identity—physically transforming into something more primal—John is forced to confront the limits of love, memory, and what it means to be human.

With time running out and Emily’s humanity slipping away, John must navigate scientific enigmas, bureaucratic indifference, and emotional devastation to find answers. Is the transformation reversible—or is Emily becoming someone, or something, else entirely?

A haunting, heart-wrenching tale of love, loss, and identity set against a backdrop of cosmic wonder. Metamorphosis from the Stars blends hard science fiction with emotional intensity in a story that will linger long after the final page.
