Big Lies

When astronomer Thomas Jeffries discovers a massive asteroid on a collision course with Earth, just before it slips into the sun's blind spot, his find draws the attention of the world's true power brokers. In this near-future thriller, transparency is off the table. Instead, Jeffries is offered silence-and a seat among those who decide the fate of billions from behind closed doors. Inside the secretive halls of elite councils and engineered media narratives, Jeffries is tasked with engineering a cosmic escape for the elite while preserving the illusion of safety for an oblivious world. As he uncovers the truth about ancient bloodlines, synthetic political leaders, and pre-selected survivors, he's also charged with finding a new home off-world for a civilization that may never know the sky is falling. With everything at stake, Jeffries must weigh the exodus of the few against the future of the many. Big Lies is a dark, gripping thriller about the cost of knowledge in a world built on deception. Perfect for fans of Deus Ex (elite conspiracy), Altered Carbon (privileged immortality), and Don't Look Up (satirical apocalypse), this is a chilling ride through the machinery of control-where truth is a weapon, and survival is a privilege reserved for the chosen-unless one man can rewrite the rules.
