The Ascent: Odyssera I – Ladder to the Stars (A Scientific Philosophical Journey)

In 2272, humanity has spread across the solar system, but the universe still holds secrets, and the existence of other civilizations is unknown. When engineer Soren Lee detects a strange mathematical pattern in deep-space signals, she and the reclusive theorist Aric Cole must unravel its origin—before the implications of these signals change everything they know about life, physics, and the fate of humankind. Odyssera I: Ladder to the Stars is a scientific and philosophical journey through the unknown, where mathematics, discovery, and personal lives collide.
