Chaos from the Cosmos

Earth First, Book 1

By: Pål A. Hvistendahl

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Most sci-fi authors imagine what space systems do.
This one spent 20 years supporting real space missions.

From space industry insider Pål A. Hvistendahl comes a novel that reads like tomorrow's classified briefing.

2040. The digital thread connecting civilization is about to snap.

As secret wars simmer in orbit and the race to the Moon accelerates, Vice President Jackie Jill — a sharp, witty political powerhouse — confronts a crisis that could shatter the fragile network connecting nine billion lives. Space Force Colonel Kiril MacKay, astronaut-engineer and shadow operative, must navigate covert ops, impossible loyalties, and a new frontier where one mistake could end everything.

But the real threat isn't in space. It's the conspiracy no one sees coming.

Every technology in this book exists. The vulnerabilities are real. The geopolitics are already playing out.
You'll finish this book understanding how the invisible systems above us actually work — and why they're more fragile than anyone wants to admit.

For fans of The Martian, The Expanse, and Tom Clancy.
