WINNER: GOLD MEDAL At the Readers’ Favorite Awards 2023 in the Fiction-Thriller-Environmental Category!
The future of humanity hangs by a single thread. Climate change has rendered much of the world desolate, with crops failing and coastal communities flooding. The Olympus Project is the last hope for humanity, a plan to colonise the moon led by three of the world's best and brightest - Troy Bruin, Xavier Consus, and Xanthe Waters.
But even the best and brightest can fall prey to humanity’s failing. Soon Xavier, Troy, and Xanthe are at war—with the arduous process of creating a new home on a hostile Moon, with meddling corporations jockeying for control, with the new recruits battling for open positions on their team…and with themselves.
The future looks grim—and it’s about to get worse. Because even as the crew searches for a way to reconcile their differences and work together, a secret organisation is planning to destroy what they’ve accomplished, and finish off what Mother Nature has begun.
For fans of Kim Stanley Robinson and Neal Stephenson, you'll love this thrilling dystopian science fiction series.

About leadership in The Olympus Project
If a story gets under our skin, might it have the potential to change us from the inside out?
In writing this novel, I asked myself:
How might a novel explore important leadership questions that we face as Earth’s inhabitants?
What kind of world are we moving towards?
What kind of leadership might we need to deal with it effectively?
How does leadership maturity affect our approach to survival questions?
How do relationships affect our leadership?
Can we overcome the downsides of earlier stages of leadership maturity when the stakes are high?
How does trust work? Can it be rebuilt once broken?
Can we design environments and learning programs that accelerate leadership maturity so we are better able to handle the complex challenges ahead of us?
What is our relationship to power?
How does power create blindspots?
What if we made human development central to our world and community designs?
And then the characters and world took hold of me and we were off on an adventure.
