The Boy Who Followed the Quiet Between Stars

Synopsis

Milo Karev, a curious thirteen-year-old, isn't just stargazing; he's searching. One night, a peculiar pulsing light near Jupiter captures his attention, followed by an equally strange radio signal. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Milo decodes the signal, uncovering blueprints for a mysterious device. In secret, he builds it, and with a flash, he's whisked away from Earth and into the vastness of space. His journey takes him beyond our solar system, where he discovers the breathtaking ruins of an ancient alien civilization. Through visions and shared memories, Milo learns that the signal was a cosmic test, a beacon sent out to find any intelligent life still brave enough to explore. Faced with a choice—to wander the stars forever or return home—Milo chooses Earth. He realizes that true exploration isn't about escape, but about responsibility. He returns forever changed, filled with the determination to one day help humanity reach for the stars, for he now knows, with absolute certainty, that we are not alone.
