A note for parents
Fractal Noise is a character-driven science fiction exploration novel set on an alien planet, featuring mature themes of trauma, loss, and existential meaning rather than action-adventure despite its categorization. The crew faces environmental hazards and psychological strain as they investigate a mysterious artificial structure, with the tension building from atmosphere and character conflict rather than combat. While not graphically violent, the book deals with heavy emotional and traumatic content that suits older teens better than younger readers.

On the seemingly uninhabited planet Talos VII: a circular pit, 50 kilometers wide. Its curve not of nature, but design. Now, a small team must land and journey on foot across the surface to learn who built the hole and why. But they all carry the burdens of lives carved out on disparate colonies in the cruel cold of space. For some the mission is the dream of the lifetime, for others a risk not worth taking, and for one it is a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. Each step they take toward the mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. And the ghosts of their past follow.
