About this listen
Twenty percent of the sky has never been seen. Anya Okafor built a telescope to change that.
Anya grew up listening to her father speak of the Great Attractor, the immense gravitational pull drawing galaxies toward a hidden region behind the Milky Way. For thirty one years he studied what he could not directly observe. He died in his Lagos study surrounded by annotated printouts and unfinished calculations, certain there was order in the noise.
Years later, Anya leads the team operating Concordia, a next generation telescope designed to peer through the Zone of Avoidance. When its first images arrive, they reveal structure where conventional models predict randomness. Patterns begin to emerge that echo the work her father was once dismissed for pursuing.
The discovery forces Anya to confront the possibility that the universe is not as indifferent as it appears.
The Pull is a hard science fiction novel about inheritance, doubt, and what it means to look deeper when the answers begin looking back.
For those who appreciate the scientific depth of Contact, the measured scope of classic speculative fiction, and stories where discovery carries philosophical weight.
