The Reckoning of Our Species Has Begun
In the near future, Earth stands at a crossroads—not just between salvation and ruin, but between who we were and who we must become.
A rogue stellar fragment has destabilized the solar system, triggering an apocalyptic cascade of asteroid collisions. In the chaos, a bold survival plan takes shape: Equinox, a massive orbital ark designed to preserve a snapshot of humanity—its technology, its cultures, its people.
But survival comes at a cost.
The Equinox Lottery, a global crew selection system designed to reflect Earth’s diversity in fair and proportional measure, is met with conspiracy, resistance, and fear. Religious zealots condemn it as heresy. Billionaires launch the ExOdus, an elite escape reserved for the wealthy few. Meanwhile, DUX—a near-sentient AI tasked with assisting humanity’s survival—records every decision, every betrayal, every act of courage or cruelty.
As the countdown begins, ethical lines blur. Trust erodes. And one question rises above all others:
What does it truly mean to save humanity?
Equinox is not just a space station.
It is not just survival.
It is the reckoning of our species.
Ex Inani is Book I of The Ark of Humanity Trilogy—a near-future sci-fi epic of extinction, reckoning, and the fragile hope of survival. Exploring the collision of technology, morality, and human nature, it’s a story as timely as it is timeless.
The countdown has begun.
