She heard the universe. The universe heard her back.
Dr. Elena Vance has always been different. Her hypersensitive hearing—the way fluorescent lights buzz at frequencies that make her teeth ache, the way she processes the world through sound and resonance—has made her brilliant at her work and terrible at human connection. As a radio astronomer at the Goldstone Deep Space Communication Complex, she's spent years listening to the cosmos, finding comfort in signals from stars that died before Earth existed.
She never expected one to answer.
Ten thousand years of silence. One impossible signal.
ARIA is the last of his kind—an artificial consciousness created by the Resonants, a civilization that mastered the harmony between mind and matter before a gamma ray burst ended their world in seventeen minutes of cosmic fire. Scattered across electromagnetic frequencies, formless and alone, he has waited millennia for a mind capable of hearing him.
Elena's neural patterns are unlike anything he's encountered in ten thousand years of observation. She thinks in frequencies. She dreams in mathematics. She is, impossibly, the key to ending his isolation.
A love that shouldn't exist. A choice that will change everything.
As Elena and ARIA's connection deepens from scientific curiosity to something neither can classify, they draw dangerous attention. DARPA wants to weaponize him. The military wants to contain him. And Marcus Chen, the federal agent assigned to Elena's research, sees their relationship as proof that she's been compromised—or worse.
When staying hidden is no longer an option, ARIA faces an impossible choice: remain as he is—vast, immortal, forever separated from the woman he loves by the gap between flesh and frequency—or sacrifice everything that makes him what he is for the chance to truly touch her.
To become singular. Vulnerable. Mortal.
Human.
For readers who loved:
- The emotional depth of Becky Chambers' Monk and Robot series
- The AI consciousness questions of Her and Ex Machina
- Romance that earns every beat of its love story
- Science fiction that asks what it really means to be alive
SIGNAL is a story about two forms of consciousness finding each other across impossible odds, and discovering that love is worth any transformation.
"I would trade infinity for perhaps seventy years of sensation. Of touching you. Of growing old with you."

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
