Aluta (ePub)

Aluta: The Guardian's Odyssey

Journey across the stars with Aluta, a young Bantuvianguardian whose quest to save his icy home world will take him through the mythical Orca Roads to connect with advanced civilisations spanning the multiverse.

When Aluta loses his explorer mothers to the perilous Orca Roads, he finds himself chosen to finish their mission. His people's hope rests on the long-foretold guardian who can traverse the Roads' alien secrets and return with wisdom to reverse catastrophic meta-crises threatening their planet.

With only a librarian's tales of interstellar orcas guiding lost voyagers and his mothers' enigmatic star charts, Aluta's epic travails stretch his mind and spirit. He bonds with bizarre quantum beings, survives temporal gauntlets with allies like wise Amara and loyal Jabari, and rallies rebellions in stagnating utopias to revive passions lost to order.

Along the galactic frontier, Aluta champions endangered diversity against monolithic singularity, seeded in these earliest stars by his cryoscriptorium origins. Each world unveils new revelations about balancing progress and sustainability, lone innovation against community interdependence.

Can one lonely guardian preserve his people's legacy across unimaginable gulfs while honouring civilisations based on principles far different from his own? The unfathomable cosmos awaits his small brave voice teaching that global survival blooms not only through science but also in the endlessly fertile gardens of philosophy and art.
