Standalone Novel

Published: November 27, 2025

Description

FALLING UP
A Novel

Have you ever looked up at the stars and wondered what it would be like to fall into them?

On an ordinary Tuesday afternoon, seven billion people find out.

The Earth's magnetic field reverses in an instant. The force that has held humanity to the ground since the dawn of time becomes the force that tears them away. Everything with iron in it—cars, buildings, aircraft, and the iron in human blood—accelerates upward at thirty-two feet per second squared.

Falling up.

Could you grab a tree branch? Could you reach the eaves of your house? And if you did—what then?

For the scattered survivors sheltering underground, in the right basements, behind the right walls, the reversal is just the beginning. Above them, millions of tons of debris orbit the planet. The ash from seven billion deaths darkens the sky. And on the International Space Station, four hundred kilometers up, three people face an impossible choice.

End the catastrophe and die.

Or survive and doom what's left of humanity.

*Falling Up* is a hard science fiction thriller about the end of the world, the cost of heroism, and the survivors who must rebuild from the ashes. It's a story of sacrifice, hope, and the stubborn human refusal to give up—even when the sky itself becomes the enemy.

When gravity fails, what do you hold onto?
