Michael Rising

One Man’s Journey to Find a Better World

What drives a man to leave Earth behind?

Michael Rising follows Erik Petros, a brilliant inventor haunted by loss and driven by restless ambition, as he leads a daring mission aboard the starship Ark to the distant world of Terros.

Accompanied by Commander David Steinhart and Evelyn Noelle, Erik seeks more than a new home — he chases redemption, hope, and answers to questions that he hasn’t found on Earth. Far from everything familiar, the crew confronts the unknown depths of space, the limits of technology, and forces that threaten to reshape truth itself. What they discover will test their faith, their bonds, and everything they thought they knew about where we truly belong.

Blending gripping hard science fiction with profound spiritual insight, Michael Rising is a timely, hope-filled epic about grief and grace, engineered lies and unshakable truth, and one man’s journey to find a better world — only to discover the search leads him somewhere far deeper.
