Place Beyond The Pines

In the heart of Nigeria's most remote forests lies an ancient, otherworldly enigma...a colossal spacecraft from the depths of the universe. Its arrival sparks awe and terror, its purpose shrouded in mystery. As nations scramble to claim this technological marvel, two unlikely heroes, Dr. Modupe Hassan and her husband, Engineer Taiwo Hassan, find themselves entangled in a web of conspiracy, betrayal, and survival.

Taiwo, armed with his cunning and unrelenting loyalty, stands as her steadfast partner as they navigate a treacherous maze of military aggression, political intrigue, and humanity’s insatiable greed. But the ship is more than a vessel; it is a test. A remnant of an ancient interstellar race, it holds the power to elevate a civilization—or annihilate it. As the couple deciphers its purpose, they must confront humanity's darkest impulses and their own inner demons. With their every move watched, Modupe and Taiwo must rely on their wits, Sentinel Vision glasses, and the ship's enigmatic AI, StarLance, to uncover the truth. As alliances crumble and enemies close in, the stakes grow higher: the fate of Earth—and perhaps the galaxy—rests in their hands. Will humanity prove worthy of the stars’ ultimate gift, or will its greed and violence condemn it to destruction?
