The Sisyphus Project

“The weapon was born of stolen science. The defense must come from the man who invented it.”

The Sisyphus Project unfolds in a near-future where the United States has hardened into a puppet surveillance state under covert Chinese influence, and only a handful of resistance cells fight to keep liberty alive. Across Earth, the Moon, and Mars, the United Democracies of Earth and their Combined Defense Forces face a devastating new Chinese gravity weapon—engineered from stolen research on the Sisyphus Project’s Unity Arc, a key component of Relativity Logistics Corporation’s deep-space mining program.

Dr. Martin Crawford, father of the Unity Arc, must uncover the flaw in his own breakthrough even as he and his team race to out-innovate an adversary wielding a dangerously unstable design. Espionage, sabotage, and orbital brinkmanship collide as Martin scrambles to forge defenses capable of shielding entire worlds before the next strike—pitting human ingenuity and the last embers of freedom against a rising authoritarian order.
