The Save Humanity Project

by Charles T. Harris

If you’re reading this, we survived and it’s over. For 200 years our species has looked to the heavens and observed Ceres 5461 approach. It’s larger than our moon. At the time I write this, the rock hangs as a monster in the sky. We have mere weeks left.
My name is Clark Gable Harvey. Likely you were familiar with my late mother, ‘Madame Beauty’. One of the world’s most successful Cyber Web stars and a true believer in The Save Humanity Project. Because of her, I received a ticket to the FSS moon base. From there we make our final stand. I leave soon to observe the greatest minds of our planet take on the beast and deliver salvation. My contract requires that I record my trip for future generations, so let’s get started…

About the author

CHARLES T. HARRIS is an author, father, and sci-fi enthusiast. His state of being would be best described as perpetual confusion. He daydreams and bumbles through life in a semi-joyous haze. Charles lives in London, England, with his wife and family. His interests include reading, writing, and anything to do with space exploration.

Charles developed a love for writing from an early age. Science Fiction has always been a passion, though an interest in learning remains a keen driving force. The Save Humanity Chronicles is his first series, and a culmination of five years' work on three individual novellas. Key topics include relationships, mental wellbeing, and the peaks and troughs of reality.

Set far in the future, Ceres 5461 is coming, a huge chunk of rock, larger than the moon, heading towards earth. Despite numerous attempts to destroy it- it remains, and it’s certain to be a global killer. It was identified 150 years ago, but now its approach is very close to earth.

‘The Firm’ (money men who operated global stock markets) signed a law charter, and created The Save Humanity Project, and for the last 150 years, members of the project have done everything necessary to keep things on an even keel, and stop people from panicking.

There’s just one more chance to destroy Ceres, and this will be carried out from the FSS moon base - one last glimmer of hope. Because his late mother was a Cyber celebrity who supported The Save Humanity Project, Clarke Gable Harvey has received a ticket to the FSS moon base to witness this last attempt to save the inhabitants of earth. His job is to document this important event, hopefully for future generations to read.

Although sci-fi isn’t my favourite genre, I really enjoyed this one, becoming totally invested in the main protagonist, along with the approaching disaster - such an interesting story, with some nice twists along the way, and believe me, it’s quite a journey in more ways than one for Clarke Gable Harvey!

Charles Harris documents the battle to save humanity from the cosmic doom of an approaching planetoid in The Save Humanity Project! Clark Gable Harvey continues his mother’s work by joining the Save Humanity Project, an initiative based on a Moon base intended to stop the approaching Ceres from destroying Earth. I love a good disaster film, but what makes Harris’ novella special is the way it’s told in a series of journal entries and its focus on Clark’s character. You get everything you can want out of sci fi, but I personally enjoyed the tighter study of a character that really brought out the humanity and realism of this one! If you love disaster tales, sci fi, or short reads, definitely come join the plan to stop Ceres with The Save Humanity Project!

New and inventive - Internal dialogue of main character in the form of journal entries intensifies the readers emotional experience - Balancing ones view between what is real and only perceived - A new style, unique and thrilling

[Laura Jelenkovich · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very interesting story, I loved it. It’s short and this is its strength. The style is fluent, with short phrases which keep the reading fast, almost running. The main character is perfectly designed after only a few chapters and he has a sense of familiarity, like you know well who he his, how you cannot? You sympathize with him from the start. The plot has some twists and turns that keep up attention, but the strictly sci-fi aspects are quite lame. In the end a really enjoyable book
