Anthropocene

When the war ends, truth becomes dangerous.

Celebrated alternative archaeologist Mavis Fogbottom sets sail aboard the colossal sky-vessel Infinite Dream, promising revelations about humanity’s forgotten past. Her expedition gathers mystics, soldiers, scholars, performers—and secrets—on a journey from London’s salons to submerged cities and forbidden mountains. But as ancient sites awaken, so do forces that refuse to remain buried.

A singer vanishes. A mystic slips between realities. A hardened marine investigator hunts a murder that may not obey the laws of cause and effect. Across ice deserts, abyssal planes, and drowned civilizations, hunters sing creation into being while comets, gods, and collective belief bend reality itself.

As archaeology collides with ritual, and history reveals itself as a living, rewritable thing, the expedition fractures under suspicion, grief, and visions of apocalypse. What if civilization didn’t rise once—but many times? What if stories don’t just describe reality… but create it?

Sweeping, psychedelic, and philosophically charged, this novel blends speculative archaeology, cosmic mystery, and metaphysical noir into an epic where truth is unstable, memory is weaponized, and the past may yet decide the fate of every possible future.
