Aurora Ark: Space with Faith and Fire

By Dr. David K. Ewen

A space station torn from time. A city under glass. A choice that could save a world.

In 2028, the American space station Providence Ring is ripped from Earth's orbit and hurled into 2189 above Mars. Commander Elena Castillo, a plasma physicist with her abuela's pocket Bible in her jacket, awakens to Redhaven Prime, a domed megacity surviving beneath the fragile Balance Accords where public faith is pushed into the shadows.

Redhaven's water runs thin, its terraforming arrays fail, and rival powers circle. Prefect Corin Valera wants control more than miracles. The Dustborn Chorus preaches purification by ruin. And Elena's brilliant XO, Jace Rourke, is tempted by a forbidden path that could carry them back in time at the cost of the city's soul.

To live, Elena must rebuild the Genesis Lattice from the haunted yards of Phobos Nightforge, the lonely Deimos relay, and a hidden vault in Sanctuary Chasm. She must forge the Dustline Accord to bind miners, makers, and Water Keepers into one courageous people. Above all, she must decide whether to chase yesterday or turn Providence into the Aurora Ark, a sanctuary that makes mercy practical and hope contagious.

Blending high-stakes space opera with the quiet power of Christian faith, this is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and resilient love. For readers who long for awe, courage, and a future bright enough to share.

About the Author

Dr. David K. Ewen is an ordained minister whose life and calling have been deeply shaped by faith, education, and a lifelong fascination with the heavens. As a child, he stood among millions who watched history unfold in 1969, when humanity first set foot on the Moon. A few years later, with wonder in his eyes and a telescope in hand, he tracked America's first space station, Skylab, as it sailed across the night sky. Those moments sparked a passion that has never faded-a passion for both the mysteries of creation and the God who made them.

Dr. Ewen's journey has been one of teaching and ministry, guiding others to wisdom, truth, and grace. His work in education has touched lives around the world, while his ministry has sought to bring light to those walking through life's deepest questions. His name even journeys beyond Earth, etched into history on a silicon chip aboard NASA's Perseverance rover, which launched in 2020 and touched down in Jezero Crater on Mars in 2021.

With this book, Dr. Ewen unites his lifelong love of space exploration with his devotion to sharing the message of hope, redemption, and the abiding presence of God. His voice as both minister and storyteller invites readers not only to dream of the stars but also to see in them the reflection of a Creator who calls each of us by name.
