In a near future where humanity has colonized the Moon and prepares for Mars, Manuel Fernández makes a shocking discovery-he is not human. He is something else, a being from another world with a cosmic destiny. With deep philosophical reflections, intrigue, sabotage, and family drama, this gripping spacefaring sci-fi novel will take you on a journey filled with unexpected twists.
The year is 2062. The world is no longer the same. The United States has collapsed, leaving a power vacuum that has reshaped the global order. The European Union has evolved into the United States of Eurasia, a dominant superpower that now includes a democratic Russia and leads humanity's expansion into space.
In this new era, Manuel Fernández embarks on a journey to the Moon, part of an ambitious interplanetary colonization program. But his mission is far more than it seems. A strange mark on his body hides a secret that challenges everything he thought he knew about himself-and about humanity itself.
A seasoned astronaut at the International Lunar Station (ELI), Manuel Fernández discovers a truth that will change his life forever: he is not human. He is Zahel, an extraterrestrial being from a distant gaseous planet called Kaelion. His species, the ulathi, are luminous entities that merge with biological hosts to survive and learn from other civilizations. But something went wrong-Manuel has begun to remember his true origin, something that was never meant to happen.
