A cunning young girl comes face to face with an interstellar threat when her mother and grandfather are murdered aboard their starship while making contact with a mysterious entity. Alone, and with no way home, Bellamy makes a deal with an alien intelligence to chase the signal of her mother's soul to a facility light-years away, in the hope she might be resurrected and the two of them reunited. Chasing the Signal is the first story of The Foundry series by J Fitzpatrick Mauldin, to be followed up by the book one, The Foundry. "...the many alien species are creatively imagined and the high-tech swashbuckling is suspenseful fun. An enjoyable coming-of-age SF action tale that builds to a satisfying conclusion." - Kirkus Reviews (The Foundry)
