Hubris Effect

di Tony Harmsworth (Autore)

Vinci Books, 2026

Two planets. Two impossible choices. One mission humanity might not survive. Part I: When a parallel Earth offers a chance to begin again, Mark Noble leads an elite team to explore its untouched wilderness. But the promise of a new world hides an ancient truth: they’re not alone. Intelligent life has already taken root here—and humanity’s arrival is not welcome. As tensions rise and contact becomes unavoidable, Mark must decide what kind of future he’s fighting for. Colonization. Coexistence. Or something far more dangerous. Part II: On the far world of Stadit, an entire expedition has gone silent. Their ships are grounded. And something unseen is preventing their escape. As the rescue mission begins, Mark and his team encounter a planet that defies physics, warps perception, and buries its secrets deep. With time running out, they must uncover the truth—or risk being lost to a force that doesn’t want to be understood. Two worlds. Two missions. And no guarantee they’ll return from either. Hubris Effect continues the Mark Noble: Edge of the Void series with dual storylines of moral reckoning and existential terror—perfect for fans of Clarke, Heinlein, and Interstellar. Publisher’s note: Hubris Effect was previously published as Pristine Earth Sinister Planet ________________________________________________ Praise for the Mark Noble: Edge of the Void series: ★★★★★ “Reads like old masters—classic hard sci-fi with emotional depth.” ★★★★★ “Solid science, real people, strange situations, clever solutions, and unexpected twists. I will read more of this series.” ★★★★★ “Most innovative sci-fi author I’ve read since the 50's old masters of sci-fi!” ★★★★★ “Reminded me of Doctor to the Stars because of the infection.” ★★★★★ “Believable characters and details, coupled with only modest ‘suspensions of disbelief’... makes me eager for the unfolding story.” ★★★★★ “Fast and easy reading. Kind of like an Alien movie.” ★★★★★ “Good page turner. Fun and exciting without resorting to needless violence.” ★★★★★ “I haven’t been so excited about sci-fi since I first read Heinlein. This is better!” ★★★★★ “Classic hard sci-fi without fluff. Reminded me of Clarke, Asimov, Bradbury.” ★★★★★ “Tony writes what I call real science fiction, like the old masters.” ★★★★★ “Exciting and nerve-wracking… it had me enthralled throughout the entire book.” ★★★★★ “A fresh approach to aliens—finally something different than the usual invasion trope.”
