At the height of interstellar civilization, humanity and its allies have achieved what earlier ages believed impossible: instantaneous communication across light-years, perfectly calibrated faster-than-light transit, and seamless cooperation between hundreds of worlds. Then the measurements begin to fail. A military reconnaissance squadron disappears despite flawless telemetry. Manufacturing systems produce identical components that no longer behave identically. Communication relays return contradictory timestamps from the same transmission. At first, the anomalies are dismissed as statistical noise. But when a catastrophic trinary stellar cascade destabilizes the hidden constants underlying interstellar technology, the great network binding civilization together begins to fracture. Navigation diverges. Synchronization collapses. Entire fleets lose agreement on shared space and time. As governments struggle to preserve order, scientists and archivists race to understand a terrifying possibility: The universe itself is drifting out of calibration. Caught between political denial, military desperation, and the accelerating collapse of physical certainty, humanity faces a crisis unlike any war or invasion in history. The enemy is not a hostile species or empire. It is the failure of reality-dependent civilization itself. The Glass Constellation is the first volume of The Calibration Fall Trilogy-a sweeping hard science fiction saga of collapsing interstellar order, drifting physical law, and the enduring struggle to preserve meaning in a universe that no longer agrees with itself. Perfect for readers of: - Foundation- Dune- Revelation Space- A Fire Upon the Deep- Hyperion
