Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What if the solution to the Fermi Paradox is mercy-and we've been asleep inside it all along?Absolute Horizon is a cinematic, philosophy-laced first-contact novel about four specialists-The Scientist, The Soldier, The Journalist, and The Diplomat-sent to answer a universal invitation: "Come join us." There's a catch. The journey offers no stasis, no jumps. Bodies are kept in perfect regeneration while minds live inside a vast virtual cosmos-one that forbids any trace of alien life to preserve sanity. That absence itself becomes the first mystery... and the first clue.As glitches fracture the simulation, paranoia flares into action-thriller intensity: chases across collapsing cities of light, firefights that tear open the lattice of reality, and a descent into the Labyrinth-a living archive of an ancient civilization's buried contradictions. With echoes of Asimov's diplomacy and a pulse of cosmic horror, the crew must argue for humanity's survival before a council of beings who can erase history-or recognize it.Woven through it all is a clear, reader-friendly thread from Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit: consciousness awakening through contradiction toward something like absolute knowledge-without preaching, and without moralizing. The result is a two-sided novel-human and alien-about recognition, memory, and what joining really means.- - Hook: A VR cosmos with no aliens allowed-by design.- - Thrill: Battlefield-level action inside a collapsing simulation.- - Mystery: Detective-horror rooms where the "haunting" is history itself.- - Debate: A courtroom-in-the-cosmos where words move worlds.- - Payoff: A final choice that transforms both species...and leaves a door open.

Absolute Horizon stands alone yet begins the Chorus Cycle-perfect for fans of thoughtful first contact, simulation theory, and high-concept sci-fi that still delivers on action.
