AS1 is a hard science fiction epic that combines meticulous scientific accuracy with a gripping narrative. This tale of discovery, speculation, and deceit will captivate fans of acclaimed works such as Arrival and Project Hail Mary, offering a realistic and thought-provoking journey into the unknown Author’s Note: Hi everyone, I hope you enjoy AS1 ! This book took over five years to write as I balanced traveling, working, and raising a toddler. It was truly a project of passion and discovery. Since I published this book independently without an editor, you might come across a few typos here and there. Maybe that just adds authenticity, or maybe it annoys you, I’d love your feedback and if I sell enough copies, I plan to reinvest in a fully copyedited Second Edition. Thank you all for your support, and I’m excited for you to dive into AS1 !
