*NEW* Olympus Dawn - Book 4
A ruthless CEO wants Mars. A battle-scarred crew stands in his way.
When sabotage threatens humanity’s first long-term mission to the Red Planet, Commanders Troy Bruin and Xanthe Waters must uncover the truth before a powerful corporate rival claims Mars for himself. Cut off from Earth and battling a planet built to kill them, the Olympus crew faces danger, betrayal, and the growing realisation that every step forward exacts a price.
A gripping, character-driven eco-thriller about survival, power, and the fight for a future worth living.
Two worlds on the brink. One man pulling the strings.
OLYMPUS DAWN
The fourth book and finale of the Gaia dystopian technothriller series
When Earth’s political order starts to fracture, billionaire CEO Lincoln Ellison sees his chance. Controlling Mars means controlling the future—and he’ll sabotage, blackmail, and destroy anyone who gets in his way.
But Commander Troy Bruin isn’t about to let him. Leading a tough, battle-scarred crew on the first long-term mission to Mars, Troy faces a deadly trail of accidents that look less like bad luck and more like a hostile takeover. Beside him, Deputy Xanthe Waters fights through her own injuries and doubts to keep the team alive.
Cut off from Earth, hunted by a corporate giant, and battling a planet designed to kill them, the Olympus crew is running out of time. One wrong move and Mars becomes the graveyard of humanity’s future.
Explosive, fast-paced, and packed with twists, Olympus Dawn is a high-octane space thriller for fans of The Martian, The Expanse, and Mission: Impossible—set on the deadly frontier of our next home.

Want to be part of my next campaign?
I’m shifting gears and writing historical fiction: a spy thriller based in Ancient Rome told by the slaves to the great ladies of the late Republic, early empire. Think Servilia, Livia, Cleopatra, Fulvia, Agrippina and the men they parried with: Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, Claudius, Nero…There will be plenty of intrigue, politics, and of course blood in the shadows…
Come along for the ride and join Bookish (free) for updates and exclusive behind the scenes as we wander into Ancient Rome.
