Why a Booktrail?
2026: If the world was about to end, who would you want by your side?
Voyagers
What you need to know before your trail
When the Signal – a mysterious transmission pulsing from the edge of the solar system – arrives, the world changes overnight. Planes are grounded, satellites fail, humanity holds its breath.
And Alex realises there’s no one he’d rather be with at the potential apocalypse than Ana.
Because when they were six years old, Ana and Alex were abducted by aliens. Or at least, that’s what they told the rescuers who found them after their 36 hours missing in Palm Springs, and the story they stuck to as they became minor child stars.
Now, as the Signal grows louder and the world devolves into chaos, the two race to meet each other for one final reckoning.

Palm Springs and Roswell
The author says:
I came up with the idea for Voyagers during a trip to Roswell in 2015. I was part of a documentary crew filming at the town’s annual UFO festival and found myself thinking about the trip long after the shoot was done. I think I was drawn to fictionalizing it because I knew the piece I’d been there filming couldn’t capture the full nuance and humanity of the stories we’d heard. The questions that those UFO experiences raised — about the reliability of memory, the nature of belief, and how much trust to put in stories, both the ones we tell ourselves and those we receive from the media or government — did not feel confined only to the world of ufology.
The characters in Voyagers might be interrogating their memories of something extraordinary, but to me, their struggles are universal.
