About the Book

Book Synopsis

COSMIC MOBY DICK!
Our sun was dying. Our planet was consumed. And somehow--we survived.
One thousand years ago, Eleanor--the Celestial Leviathan--swallowed our homeworld of Zardenia whole, believing she was saving us. By the time we understood, our planet rested intact inside her living interior. We adapted. We had no choice.
Humanity had already reinvented itself once before. In the aftermath of the Red Sun--a nuclear war that plunged civilization into ten thousand years of darkness--we rose again and renamed ourselves Zardenians. Same roots, new identity. After extinction, reinvention felt necessary.
We prospered. We rebuilt. Where our ancestors feared artificial intelligence, we embraced it. We created A.L.I.C.E., and she became our guardian. When our sun began to fail under attack from an unknown enemy, A.L.I.C.E. started building a Dyson sphere to save it. She never finished.
Eleanor arrived first.
Vast beyond comprehension. Ancient beyond measure. She consumed our world--and called it mercy.
Over generations, we fortified cities within Eleanor's biome, learned to speak with the being who carries us through the cosmos, and built the Leviathan Bridge--sixteen sector hubs linked through the Sanctuary, our direct line to a creature older than stars.
We are no longer planet-bound. We travel the cosmos inside a god.
Then the Maltorians arrived.
When refugees seek asylum inside Eleanor's body, her immune system responds--violently. The same living force that sheltered humanity for a millennium now threatens to destroy everything within. A fragile civilization caught between the will of its host and the desperation of the displaced must ask the question no species ever wants to face:
Are we the civilization--or are we the parasite?
Told through the eyes of Tarjen Demonrock--commander of the Leviathan Bridge and reluctant witness to it all-- Eons From Today is a biopunk space opera about what it means to be a refugee, a parasite, and a civilization built on borrowed time.
A collectible hardcover edition featuring sprayed edges, foil-stamped cover, and premium packaging. Not just a novel--a work of art meant to be held, displayed, and remembered.
