Ulley's Odyssey
A father lost in the stars. A family fighting to survive. An epic myth reimagined on an interstellar stage.
After Ulley becomes an unwilling participant in the Consortium’s brutal victory over the distant planet Troia, he flees into the uncharted space of the Aegean star cluster, unable to face the family he left behind on Ithaca. His escape plunges him into a gauntlet of impossible worlds: mind-bending flora, monstrous AIs, shapeshifting curses, and celestial beings who hint that an ancient myth is repeating itself.
On Ithaca, his wife Pennae struggles to hold their failing space habitat together as the Consortium moves to seize the crown jewel orbiting Jupiter, their daughter, Helen, is branded a revolutionary, and their son Telly journeys across the stars in search of Ulley.
The truth becomes clear: to return home, Ulley must confront the gods of the future. And the ghosts of his past.

This is a highly creative science-fiction reimagining of Homer’s Odyssey. Even though the core story is thousands of years old, this retelling kept me fully engaged and eager to see what was happens next. It’s deeply rooted in an ancient narrative that has kept the story alive and relevant for centuries, while at the same time launching the reader into the far future through sci-fi twists and turns. It was a very fun read.
The balance between myth and science fiction was well managed. It honors the original journey while at the same time creating something fresh, immersive, and genuinely hard to put down. I flew through it.
