The Gods Second Edition

Earth is dying. Two hundred million survivors crowd a single city built on Arctic permafrost, slowly suffocating as the atmosphere collapses.

The only solution is gold. Massive quantities of it — enough to seed the upper atmosphere and buy humanity another century. So they build a ship, load three thousand of their best people, and send them across the stars to find it.

Five years later, they do.

A pristine world of ancient forests and breathable air. Gold running through the hillsides like veins. Enough to save Earth a hundred times over.

There is just one problem. The planet has people.

What Commander Kane does next will echo through history forever. And it will force every listener to ask the question that has haunted every act of colonisation in human history: does desperation justify anything? Does survival excuse everything?

The Conspiracy of the Gods is the Garden of Eden retold as hard science fiction — a story about power, innocence, genetic engineering, and the terrible things people do when they convince themselves that survival is sacred and someone else's sovereignty is not.
