Artemis Descending

By G A Pagart

They came back with questions no one can answer.
After a routine mission turns into a descent beneath the lunar surface, a team of astronauts uncovers an ancient structure, one that was never meant to be found. Inside, they encounter something far beyond human understanding: an intelligence known as Luna, a system capable of rewriting biology, bending time, and blurring the line between man and machine.
Lieutenant Rourke entered the core... but what returned may not be the same man.
Now back on Earth, under the watchful eyes of scientists and military command, the crew struggle to make sense of what happened below. Tests say they are human. Their memories say otherwise. And somewhere in the silence between those truths, something is still changing.
When the decision is made to return to the Moon, the mission becomes clear: recover the original Rourke... or risk losing more than just one man.
But Luna is no longer dormant.
It is learning. Adapting.
Waiting.
And the next time they descend, it may not let them leave.
Artemis Descending is a gripping science fiction thriller about first contact, identity, and the terrifying cost of understanding what lies beyond.
