Bittersweet as Angel’s Fruit

Bittersweet as Angel’s Fruit is a gripping and emotional sci-fi novel that explores the final chapter of humanity on Earth and its first steps toward a new beginning. In a world ravaged by climate collapse, war, and overpopulation, there is no future left. The only hope lies in the stars. Ethan Walker, a brilliant but conflicted engineer, is chosen to join the New Earth Mission: a one-way journey to Proxima Centauri b, where 100 of the planet’s best and brightest will attempt to build a new home. As the crew enters cryosleep, Ethan documents his thoughts in personal diary entries, mission logs, and fragments from a fading Earth. But survival isn’t guaranteed. The new planet is untested, communication with Earth is lost, and tensions begin to rise. In the silence of space, Ethan is left to confront not just the mission’s challenges, but also the deeper question: Is humanity worth saving at all? Told in an immersive, intimate style, Bittersweet as Angel’s Fruit blends dystopian worldbuilding with raw emotion and philosophical depth. A must-read for fans of The Martian, Station Eleven, and Interstellar.
