The Correction: Vol. 1 Old Earth
Not yet published
Expected 25 Mar 26Michael La is over a thousand years old, but looks twenty-seven. He is deaf and mute, and suffers from memory shear. But he is also the most experienced and brutal Korektor soldier on a distant colony planet. Korektor soldiers are trained to infiltrate and collapse rogue quantum simulations which tremble the base reality of Earth.
Michael has been tasked with correcting the most dangerous of these The Tri-Simulation Quandary of Old Earth. But he has failed, again and again. He is raging, trapped, and so lonely.
On this last mission, he breaks the cardinal he falls in love with an entity inside the Old Earth simulation he is to collapse. He begins to question the correction, as memories of his past allegiances resurface.
At the same time, a new, formidable Korektor rises, with an opposing view of duty and a desire to complete the correction of Old Earth…at Michael’s expense.
Volume 1 of a sweeping science fiction epic of quantum metaphysics, ancient mysteries in the Sinai desert, forbidden love across entangled worlds, and ruthless interstellar politics.

About the author
Sarit Zadok
2 books1 followerSarit is a Science-Fiction and Fantasy author hailing from the Middle-East whose work blends speculative concepts with grounded, emotionally driven storytelling. Drawing on years of experience as a tour guide/historian, Sarit’s fiction explores how people respond when their understanding of the world is shattered.
Sarit holds a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania where she enrolled as a newly arrived immigrant to the USA back in the days. She started her writing journey as a screenwriter with her scripts placing high on dozens of competitions, labs, and fellowships.
The Correction germinated in the Sinai desert where Sarit lived years ago, and where her love for this land began, full of magical contradictions. She also worked there as a dive master where she discovered the Red Sea, and the notorious Blue Hole. But most of all, she never forgot the people she met: the lost Westerns, the Bedouins, the forbidden and fleeting loves.
The Correction is her debut as a novelist. She is a single mother to two teens and resides with them in France in a small unheard of medieval village.

Review of advance copy
A no spolier review: This book is very idea-driven. It’s slow, deliberate, and more interested in systems and consequences than fast action, though there is but it’s earned… The world-building is solid, but you’re not spoon-fed explanations—you have to sit with it for a while. In her bio the author says she lived in this desert and dived the blue hole and it clearly shows in the world building, and her romance with this region.
The technology and power structures are the most interesting parts. And I loved the chapters in the base reality in the future planet of Proxima. Everything feels controlled, procedural. That said, the pacing is measured to the point where I sometimes wanted the plot to move faster. But the author forces the slow burn to deepen characterization with back stories etc. This pays off as they feel real. They’re constrained by the world they live in, and that’s clearly the point, but it does keep some emotional distance at times.
If you enjoy thoughtful, slower sci-fi that sets up big ideas and isn’t afraid to feel uncomfortable, this is worth reading. It’s the first book in a larger story, clearly a set-up and I’m curious to see where it goes next.
