Hubris Effect - Tony Harmsworth

Two hard science fiction missions in one volume: an untouched parallel Earth that's already inhabited, and a far-world rescue on a planet that bends physics and perception.

Part I:When a parallel Earth offers a chance to begin again, Mark Noble leads an elite team to explore its untouched wilderness. But the promise of a new world hides an ancient truth: they’re not alone. Intelligent life has already taken root here—and humanity’s arrival is not welcome. As tensions rise and contact becomes unavoidable, Mark must decide what kind of future he’s fighting for. Colonization. Coexistence. Or something far more dangerous. Part II:On the far world of Stadit, an entire expedition has gone silent. Their ships are grounded. And something unseen is preventing their escape. As the rescue mission begins, Mark and his team encounter a planet that defies physics, warps perception, and buries its secrets deep. With time running out, they must uncover the truth—or risk being lost to a force that doesn’t want to be understood. Two worlds. Two missions. And no guarantee they’ll return from either.
