Description
The final frontier is closer than we think . . .
As a war journalist, Jonah Wall saw enough of humanity's horrors to last a lifetime. He wrecked his marriage, alienated his two sons, and escaped by working on an oil rig in Alaska, as far from civilization as possible.
But when he finds a spacecraft that was buried for millennia under the tundra, he is suddenly and reluctantly thrust into an unbelievable adventure. As the ship is being unveiled to the world, it mysteriously comes to life, taking Jonah, his estranged son, and a disparate group on a terrifying journey.
Our crew of unwilling travelers are transported to a network of planets with remnants of civilizations that are strangely familiar to Jonah and his companions. But something has wiped out every one of them, and the visitors are about to find out what it is.
Rogue is a sweeping adventure story through space and time and a profound exploration of humanity's age-old obsession with its origins, its flirtation with self-annihilation, and people's stubborn ability to find love even during the darkest moments.
"A fascinating story of civilization across planets." - Advanced Reviewer
Fans of Interstellar and Star Trek will love this scifi book.

Person
Alex Schuler is a pseudonym for the writing team of William Roetzheim and Randy Becker.
William's love of writing began at a young age, however he started his career as an early pioneer in the field of AI software development. His systems have been deployed on Navy ships, submarines, and NASA space shuttles, as well as by businesses and government agencies. After launching multiple software companies, William turned his attention to the arts and became an award-winning playwright, poet, and published author.
Randy is an Emmy-nominated producer who began his career as an actor starring in film, television, and on Broadway (including the Tony Award-winning play Love! Valour! Compassion!). After producing a film of his own, he made a dramatic career change and now expresses his creativity through writing and producing.
This is the fourth book William and Randy have co-authored as Alex Schuler. Their first, Code Word Access, shot to #1 on Amazon in the sci-fi category.
Kevin Weir is a multi-disciplinary award-winning author of page, stage, and screen. A fan of fantastical worlds, Kevin has found a way to channel his chaotic energies into wild yarns where the flaws of humanity collide with beautifully bizarre imagery, taking readers on unforgettable journeys. His debut novel, Endless Hunger, was praised as a "riveting, genre-blending adventure that will keep you guessing on every page." Between projects, Kevin enjoys playing out stories in real time through TTRPGs with friends. You can find him at www.KevinWeirBooks.com.
