Octava

About this book

In the year 2155, the earth we know is no longer but a faint memory under an imminent climatic collapse; scarce water, cities sinking into chaos, and a frail atmosphere no longer able to block the solar winds that carried with them terrifying guests who did not come in peace. In the heart of this collapsed world, and between the rails of Cairo's metro, the tale begins with a strange labor scream of a village woman, a scream that did not deliver an ordinary child, but detonated an existential question about the nature of creatures that began living among us in human disguise. "Octava" is no mere science-fiction novel, but an exploratory journey across "the cosmic time bridge" toward a parallel planet carrying humanity's last hope. The novel follows an unconventional team; from a brave officer and a parascience scholar, to a prodigy child years ahead of his age, as they undergo an adventure transcending reason and logic's bounds. And amid the struggles of hidden powers on earth and the mystery wrapping the planet Octava, events escalate to reveal a cosmic conspiracy led by the intelligent entity "Nuwik," seeking to control the parallel universes. Between its lines, the novel poses deep questions about sacrifice, love, and our planet's fate in the face of science's errors and greedy alien creatures. Will "the crossing bridge" be a way out to salvation, or the trap that will end what remains of human existence? "Octava" invites you to cross, but beware, for the mystery awaiting you at the other end may change your view of all you once believed.
