IN THE FUTURE SHAPED BY H.O.M.S., SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO UPEND THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Humanity has learned to rewrite its own DNA. The Homs procedure has created a new generation of enhanced human beings: the H.O.M.S.
Mars is being colonized, trade between Earth, the Moon and the Red Planet is booming. But not every nation is benefitting from this progress and, beneath the surface, tension between space powers and excluded mutants is ready to explode.
When a wave of terrorist attacks shatters the fragile balance between Earth's governments, a mismatched group of unlikely heroes finds itself aboard the cargo ship Blue Whale. Their mission is to uncover who is really pulling the strings.
THE MAIN CHARACTERS- Marvin, a detective broken by his past.
- Blondie, an ex-soldier looking for redemption.
- Rey, a rule-breaking pilot.
- Ampy, a mutant co-pilot with an unsettling appearance.
- Asad, a secret agent in his own way.
- Riku, a forensics officer with an equally unsettling approach.
And yet they are the ones who will follow the invisible thread tying together bombings, conspiracies and forbidden experiments. Until they come face to face with a threat that goes beyond politics, beyond technology, and beyond anything humanity is ready to face.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND IN THESE PAGES- Hard sci-fi with real scientific backbone: DNA, gravity, physics and space technology treated with realism, without ever sacrificing the pace of an action-packed novel
- A space-based investigative thriller: a tight investigation across attacks, double-crosses and clues scattered over planets and stations
- An interplanetary political conspiracy: grounded geopolitics, an Interspace Committee, rising tensions between nations and space colonies
- Homs vs Normo tensions: bioethics, discrimination, ghettos and fear of the other pushed to the extreme
- Cinematic space battles: desperate escapes, assaults, edge-of-the-envelope maneuvers and clashes that feel like a movie
- Characters who aren't stereotypes: Marvin and Blondie are not perfect heroes, but damaged people who must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice
If you're drawn to:
- the political and military dynamics of The Expanse (James S. A. Corey)
- the mind-bending scope of ideas in The Three-Body Problem (Cixin Liu)
- the clever problem-solving in space of Project Hail Mary (Andy Weir)
then H.O.M.S. will take you into a future where mutants, space stations and cosmic singularities are only the beginning.
