BEYOND THE LIGHT – Reports from the Future – Alex Korden

Alex Korden, an architect with a complicated past, embarks on a dangerous mission aboard the multigenerational spaceship APEIRON, a gigantic artificial world created to leave Earth and find refuge in a distant solar system. Set against the backdrop of a dystopian future where Earth is on the brink of extinction, Korden becomes entangled in a web of political intrigue, personal feuds, and the fight for survival in interstellar space.

Korden faces risky challenges to create life-sustaining ecosystems for APEIRON's future inhabitants. As tensions rise both on Earth and aboard the ship, Korden battles not only external enemies but also his inner demons. Conspiracies emerge, betrayals are revealed, and Korden is faced with the decision of whether to continue loyally serving the system or become a pirate living by his own laws.

After a series of dramatic events—such as assassinations, fierce battles, and the threat of a Fourth World War on Earth—Korden manages to take control of APEIRON with the help of a motley crew of men and women. His companions include Ruben Muhalla Brown, a prophetic leader from Central Park, and a diverse group of people of all races and skin colors who embody the united spirit of a future humanity. Together, they overthrow the existing power structures on board the ship and set course for a distant star system to build a new, inclusive society, free of corruption and the chaos of the past.

In this new world, Korden and his companions aim to create a harmonious society in which people of different origins can live together as equals and free themselves from the divisions that once plagued the Earth. This multiracial and multicultural future stands as a symbol of hope, where the old social constraints no longer apply, and humanity can dare to make a new start.

Alex Korden’s journey is one of survival, rebellion, and redemption. He transforms from a man caught up in political games and personal conflicts into a leader who is forging a new path for humanity. With themes of freedom, equality, and the consequences of unchecked power, BEYOND THE LIGHT is a gripping five-volume science fiction saga about the struggle for a future beyond Earth’s sun, where humanity’s diversity becomes its greatest strength.
