BENEVOLENCE – THE CHRONICLES OF TRAPPIST-1 – BOOK I
They left Earth to build a better future. They arrived to find one already waiting.
Centuries after humanity’s desperate escape from a collapsing Earth, the colony on Trappist-1E has evolved into something Earth never intended. Across the northern continent, kingdoms, sailing ships, and a powerful church rule a medieval society where technology is feared and tightly controlled. Far to the south, the small settlement of Windsong has preserved the science and knowledge the rest of the world abandoned generations ago.
Then the Benevolence finally arrives.
Admiral Casey Elias and his crew came to lead humanity’s future. But armed with advanced technology, medicine, and comforts far beyond anything the realms have known for generations, their arrival threatens the fragile order that has governed the planet for centuries.
As fear spreads and political factions maneuver for power, both civilizations must confront a question avoided for generations: was this world built to protect humanity… or to control it?
ESCAPE – THE CHRONICLES OF TRAPPIST-1 – BOOK II
In 2017, NASA confirmed seven planets orbiting the red dwarf star Trappist-1 — three of them in the “Goldilocks Zone,” potentially habitable for human life.
Eighty-three years later, NASA and the European Space Agency launched the CV Benevolence, Earth’s first mission to Trappist-1E. It was a meticulously planned effort, led by the best minds of the time and a crew second to none.
But this is not their story.
These are the chronicles of the ESF Escape — the second ship, launched quietly after the Benevolence, carrying not trained settlers, but Earth’s privileged elite. Among them were Michael Sterling, the most vilified tech billionaire of his era; Mazier Enfield, a social media celebrity known more for his followers than his achievements; and Bishop Robert Ralston, a revered spiritual leader celebrated for his moral conviction and quiet strength.
Now, landing on Trappist-1E over 2,100 years before the original colony ship is set to arrive, under-equipped and unprepared, its crew and privileged passengers must forge a society from nothing. With no blueprint, no backup, and no actual settlers among them, survival depends on instinct, ethics, and sheer will.
As power struggles emerge and a catastrophic event upends their fragile order, one question looms:
What kind of world should they build — and who gets to decide?
