The Olympus Project

 

Thanks for ordering directly from the author!

When you order direct from me, the author, it helps make book publication sustainable: the author gets more of the proceeds than if you go through another distributor. That means more money to keep producing more books!

We deliver ebooks and audiobooks through the fantastic people at Bookfunnel. Their audio app is awesome! If you prefer to read books on your own ereader (Kindle, Kobo, etc), they enable that too.

Thank you for supporting independent authorship.

About The Olympus Project:

They are the best. The brightest. The hope of humanity.

And they might destroy us all…

The future. Climate change has rendered much of the world desolate. Crops are failing. Rising seas have flooded coastal communities. The earth is dying, and humanity careens toward extinction.

Enter the Olympus Project—a plan to colonise the moon, building on the fledgling Artemis base, led by three of humankind’s best and brightest: Troy Bruin, Xavier Consus, and Xanthe Waters.

But even the best and brightest can fall prey to humanity’s failing. Soon Xavier, Troy, and Xanthe are at war—with the arduous process of creating a new home on a hostile moon, with meddling corporations jockeying for control, with the new recruits battling for open positions on their team…and with themselves.

The future looks grim—and it’s about to get worse. Because even as the crew searches for a way to reconcile their differences and work together, a secret organisation is planning to destroy what they’ve accomplished, and finish off what Mother Nature has begun.

The Earth is dying. The end draws near. Only the Olympus Project can save us—if they can just figure out how to save themselves…

Fans of Andy Weir’s Artemis and Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility, will love the first book in the most thrilling dystopian science fiction series to come along in years.

About leadership in The Olympus Project

If a story gets under our skin, might it have the potential to change us from the inside out?

In writing this novel, I asked myself:

  • How might a novel explore important leadership questions that we face as Earth’s inhabitants?

  • What kind of world are we moving towards? 

  • What kind of leadership might we need to deal with it effectively?

  • How does leadership maturity affect our approach to survival questions?

  • How do relationships affect our leadership?

  • Can we overcome the downsides of earlier stages of leadership maturity when the stakes are high?

  • How does trust work? Can it be rebuilt once broken?

  • Can we design environments and learning programs that accelerate leadership maturity so we are better able to handle the complex challenges ahead of us? 

  • What is our relationship to power?

  • How does power create blindspots?

  • What if we made human development central to our world and community designs?

And then the characters and world took hold of me and we were off on an adventure.

Order your copy of The Olympus Project to see how these leadership insights play out!
