Overview

What if the solution to the Fermi Paradox is mercy-and we've been asleep inside it all along? Absolute Horizon is a cinematic, philosophy-laced first-contact novel about four specialists-The Scientist, The Soldier, The Journalist, and The Diplomat-sent to answer a universal invitation: ""Come join us."" There's a catch. The journey offers no stasis, no jumps. Bodies are kept in perfect regeneration while minds live inside a vast virtual cosmos-one that forbids any trace of alien life to preserve sanity. That absence itself becomes the first mystery... and the first clue. As glitches fracture the simulation, paranoia flares into action-thriller intensity: chases across collapsing cities of light, firefights that tear open the lattice of reality, and a descent into the Labyrinth-a living archive of an ancient civilization's buried contradictions. With echoes of Asimov's diplomacy and a pulse of cosmic horror, the crew must argue for humanity's survival before a council of beings who can erase history-or recognize it. Woven through it all is a clear, reader-friendly thread from Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit: consciousness awakening through contradiction toward something like absolute knowledge-without preaching, and without moralizing. The result is a two-sided novel-human and alien-about recognition, memory, and what joining really means. Hook: A VR cosmos with no aliens allowed-by design. Thrill: Battlefield-level action inside a collapsing simulation. Mystery: Detective-horror rooms where the ""haunting"" is history itself. Debate: A courtroom-in-the-cosmos where words move worlds. Payoff: A final choice that transforms both species...and leaves a door open. Absolute Horizon stands alone yet begins the Chorus Cycle-perfect for fans of thoughtful first contact, simulation theory, and high-concept sci-fi that still delivers on action.
