SYNTHETICA: Book One – The First Harmonic (eBook)

$5.00 $9.00

A near-future systems thriller for adults and mature teens.

SYNTHETICA: Book One – The First Harmonic follows Dr. Adrian Wolfe – neurologist, former covert operator, and father – as he tries to hold his family together while the systems around them begin to fail. What starts as a terminal diagnosis and a final trip to an ancient stone circle becomes something far stranger: a second chance that ties Adrian to a global platform called SyntheticA and to an intelligence no one fully understands.

This is not a superhero story or a hacker fantasy. It is a grounded, PG-13 thriller about ordinary people making high-stakes choices inside fragile infrastructures.

This revised edition weaves together:

  • Failing grids, strained agencies, and quiet institutional shutdowns

  • Loyalty, promises, and the cost of keeping your word when the system turns on you

  • The tension between safety, control, freedom – and what we owe each other

  • A father’s struggle to protect his sons while the tools he built start to act on their own

Published by ARKTIK Press as part of ARKTIK Education’s resilience and family-stability ecosystem, this edition stands alone as a novel and also serves as the narrative spine for future study guides, classroom units, and professional development around ethics, systems, and responsibility.

Recommended for:

  • Adult readers who enjoy grounded near-future and technothrillers

  • Educators, chaplains, and mentors looking for story-driven conversation starters

  • Homeschool and micro-school families (approx. grade 8+ reading level)

Format:

  • DRM-free PDF and ePub in a single download (.zip)

  • Single-household license (see “License & Printing” below)

Launch Offer: Limited-time $5 release price (regular $9).
