OLYMPUS RISING

The third instalment of the Gaia dystopian technothriller series

Earth is dying, and the Moon holds humanity’s last hope—a vast reserve of helium-3, a crucial energy source. But power corrupts, even in the vacuum of space.

Commander Xanthe Waters leads the mission to secure the Moon’s resources, but as the covert battle for control escalates, she’s forced to question who the real enemies are. With political betrayal at every turn and eco-terrorists—backed by shadowy forces—seizing her crew, Xanthe finds herself walking a thin line between saving humanity and sacrificing her own values.

In a race against time, Xanthe must risk everything to expose a conspiracy that could plunge Earth into darkness. But in the ruthless fight for survival, even heroes can become villains.

Olympus Rising is a thrilling near-future eco-thriller, blending cutting-edge science, political suspense, and ethical dilemmas into a high-stakes battle for survival. If you love strong female leads, complex characters, and stories that explore the dark side of human ambition, this interplanetary adventure is for you.
