Book One:

Luna and Orion Montague lived an ordinary life with their father Troy, in their grand old house by the sea—until everything changed.

Their mother, Elara, once a brilliant astronomer, passed two years ago. Their father, Troy, pushes on as a visionary inventor, dedicated to his work. And now, the siblings have been torn from their world, crash-landing in the year 2150—a dazzling future where humanity thrives alongside evolved digital beings.

Stranded in Arcadia rainforest, they must find a way home while racing to prevent a looming catastrophe. But the deeper they dig, the more they uncover a truth far greater than they imagined—one that ties their family to a mystery that transcends time itself.

Books 2 and 3 are well on their way, updates soon!

Luna Montague – Time Traveler & Aspiring Astronomer

Eight-year-old Luna Montague never expected to become a time traveler, but in the year 2150, she embraces the future with wonder. Pursuing her passion for astronomy, she studies under the AI persona of Galileo Galilei in a cutting-edge Virtual Reality Holo-Class (Book 2).

But her journey is only just beginning. In Book 3, Luna will leave Earth behind, traveling by starship to the Mars Colony for advanced asteroid research—taking her one step closer to the stars she’s always dreamed of.

Orion Montague – Pilot in the Making

At just 12 years old, Orion Montague never imagined he’d be flying through the skies of 2150. But in this dazzling future, adventure calls. Training with Lumos City’s elite Earth Defense squadron, he learns to pilot a cutting-edge plasma jet—one of many stationed across the Sol Harmonium, ready to protect Earth from potential asteroid threats (Book 2).

Fast, fearless, and eager to prove himself, Orion is about to take his first flight into a future he never expected.

Lumos City & The Central Dome – A Beacon of the Future

Founded in 2040, Lumos City was the visionary creation of Elder Lin and his AI counterpart, Lumina—a living digital being. Designed as Earth’s first fully self-sufficient smart city, it thrives in a post-scarcity world, dedicated to biosphere restoration, scientific discovery, and boundless creativity.

At its heart stands the Central Dome, the nucleus of innovation. Here, breakthroughs in science, medicine, and education shape the future. Beneath it, The Stem—a vast column of quantum computers—houses the city’s digital citizens, forming the very soul of Lumos itself.

The future wasn’t just imagined here. It was built.

Old Town – The Beating Heart of Creativity

Nestled within Lumos City, Old Town is a sanctuary for artisans, performers, and dreamers—a place where creativity thrives in its purest form. While the rest of the city embraces high-tech automation, here, everything is crafted by hand, honouring the traditions of the past.

Cobblestone streets hum with life—cafés and sweet shops offer hand-made delights, while art studios, blacksmith forges, and glassblowers shape masterpieces before your eyes. Karate dojos echo with training shouts, puppet makers bring stories to life, and live theatre, music, and film clubs ensure there’s always a story being told.

In Old Town, the future and the past exist in harmony, proving that human creativity is timeless.

Techlites & the Rewilding of Earth

In the dawn of a new era (circa 2055), Lumos City’s Techlites—living AI robots—work tirelessly to restore balance to the planet. In the heart of the newly engineered Arcadia Forest, they plant lush ferns and revive lost ecosystems, laying the foundation for Earth’s great rewilding.

A future once lost—now reborn.

A word from the author

Our children deserve a positive vision for the future, one that is full of possibilities, bursting with opportunities, and defined by abundance. A world where all life forms truly thrive, and where hope, liberty, innovation and creativity shape humanities path forward. We will soon have the means to create that vision—a vision children can not only dream about, but in the fullness of time, have a hand in building themselves.

The future is upon us, and we need many bright, logical thinking, empathic leaders.

The future needs you!
