Independently Published Où la Terre s'élève : La course au nouvel espace Livre de poche

Humanity has returned to the Moon. And this time, the stakes are far higher than the conquest of a new frontier.In the near future, the new space race has entered its decisive phase. On one side stands IASPE, the intergovernmental space agency committed to guiding exploration and scientific research; on the other, SpaceTech, the private-sector giant that sees the Moon and its extraterrestrial resources as the greatest economic opportunity in history.Alex Harris is a young professional in the emerging space industry. Julia Mitchell is an astrophysicist who knows that world well and has spent years searching for answers to questions left unresolved. Their paths cross when a lunar mission draws them into a game far bigger than either could have imagined. Because behind the official competition to explore space, powerful interests are at work that no one seems willing to bring into the open. And as the first permanent settlements begin to take shape on the Moon, something from the past starts to emerge. A secret capable of challenging not only the history of a family, but the very balance of power on which humanity's future is being built.Between Earth and the Moon, between scientific research and economic power, Alex and Julia must work out whom they can trust before it is too late. Because the new space race is not simply about who will reach the Moon first. It is about who will have the power to decide what happens next.Where the Earth Rises is a near-future science-fiction thriller, built on the boundary between science and imagination: a story of exploration, ambition, secrets and power, set in a future close enough to seem possible.The Earth seen from the Moon has never felt so close. Or so far away.
