If humanity dies, the universe collapses. No pressure.
Earth is already lost—cracked moons, corporate gods, and a mass evacuation that never quite finishes the job. As humans scatter across the stars, artificial intelligences mine what’s left, androids find religion, and reality itself begins to wobble.
Enter Kingsley: an immortal, unfathomably wealthy relic of Old Earth who hires a burned-out ex–special forces captain and his deeply unhinged crew for a simple job—find his stolen castle.
As the search unfolds, the crew is dragged into a galaxy where capitalism survived the apocalypse, faith runs on code, and some AIs believe humanity’s extinction is inevitable—and acceptable. Kingsley, meanwhile, may be the only being who understands what’s really at stake: if humans disappear, the universe may collapse back into quantum chaos.
Darkly funny, sharply satirical, and unexpectedly heartfelt, The Eternal Observer blends space opera, philosophical science fiction, and biting humor into a story about power, memory, and why the smallest things—friends, artifacts, and a good cup of tea—might matter more than saving everything.
Perfect for readers who enjoy: Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Iain M. Banks, and sci-fi that laughs while staring straight into the void.
