The Planet of the Pharaohs

About this book

Between the cold walls of NASA's laboratories and the ambitions of the human mind knowing no ceiling, lives Ahmed; the young Egyptian engineer chasing dreams beyond the atmosphere's limits. He is no mere rocket scientist, but a soul suspended between the passion of science and the emptiness of solitude, searching the stillness of space for answers he did not find on a land that granted him nothing but the bitterness of loss. He owns a strong body and a mind seething with questions, and a heart stubborn against love.. until now. Fate takes him on a journey not in his original plans, to find himself the first Egyptian to set foot on the moon's surface, but the journey that began as a scientific leap soon turns into a struggle for survival when his craft collides with the silence of deadly stillness and his connection with the world is cut. There, atop those distant gray rocks, where truth intermingles with imagination, Ahmed faces his destiny face to face. Is space truly as desolate as we think? Or is there a "welcome" waiting in the dark corners of the universe? Between the dream of reaching an unknown planet, and a promise to offer a gift.
