About this audiobook
What if your dreams could build the future...and destroy it?
A nameless tech visionary unlocks the Eternal Engine: a force stolen from dreams that can bend matter, power civilization, and rewrite existence. Overnight, humanity transcends limitation: endless energy, instant replication, interstellar travel. A new age of wonder… or something far darker.
Then come The Pointers.
Silent figures appearing across the world, motionless and unnerving, each one pointing skyward. Their arrival fractures belief, sparks chaos, and signals that the boundaries between waking and dreaming have begun to tear.
Blending the cerebral twists of Inception, the irreverent wit of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and the creeping dread of Insidious, Elysium Rising is a haunting sci-fi epic about ambition, madness, and the quiet horror of getting everything you ever wanted.
Are you ready to wake up?
