Meer over het boek

The Delany, captained by the swashbuckling Bob, is orbiting Europa, studying its atmosphere, but the ship is divided into two factions. The "Bobs," loyal to their vain captain, clash with crew members Dwayne and Nalani, who are focused on the moon's surface. Dwayne and Nalani make a groundbreaking discovery when a drone captures images of a seemingly normal American city encased in a dome with a crack. As the crew investigates, they are drawn into New Roanoke, a city inhabited by generations of UFO abductees, reflecting a distorted version of American society. They find themselves amidst an election that could determine whether the residents should return to Earth. The dome's crack threatens to collapse, and the inhabitants face terror from "invisible things" that torment them, raising the central mystery of their existence. Through Nalani's journey in this mirrored world, the narrative explores polarized politics, existential dilemmas, and environmental concerns that resonate with our own reality. The fate of New Roanoke hangs in the balance, prompting questions about survival and the nature of their society.
