Anti-gravity could never fail. Until it does.
In the year 2076, humanity's reliance on Brian Medlock's anti-gravity technology, powered by Medlock's unified Theory of Persistence, has brought forth a utopian society. Roads have vanished; energy flows from the very particles around us; and the world thrives under the guidance of a physics-based framework called The Fabric, a theory uniting quantum mechanics and gravity... and possibly divine order.
But on an otherwise ordinary morning, the impossible happens: aerial vehicles worldwide begin plummeting from the sky. Panic spreads. Caught in the catastrophe is Jack Woods - a mild-mannered bureaucrat, single father, and reluctant hero. When Jack's young son is airborne at the moment of the disaster, Jack is thrust into a race against collapsing infrastructures, hostile government factions, and clashes of faith. Meanwhile, Olivia Martorana, leader of Transportation Technology, uncovers clues pointing toward a secret experiment that may have tampered with the Fabric itself.
As the quantum encryption grid destabilizes, the truth emerges: someone has been using Medlock's theory to peer into the future - and possibly rewrite it.
Taming the Perilous Skies is a fast-paced hard science fiction thriller that weaves scientific discovery, aerial disaster, philosophical stakes, and deep moral dilemmas into a gripping story of survival and hope. As Jack, Olivia, and Medlock confront questions of free will, faith, and the ethics of technological power, they're forced to navigate a world where quantum physics, divine prophecy, and political corruption collide.
With a cast of vivid, often wryly flamboyant characters, and a tone that moves effortlessly between suspense, heartbreak, and scientific wonder, Taming the Perilous Skies is perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Dan Brown, and Arrival (Ted Chiang). This is science fiction at its sharpest - smart, subversive, and, at times, disturbingly prophetic.
