Across deserts, ruins, and cities half-asleep, a single relic binds the world together - an object older than belief, humming with the record of every human action ever taken.
When archeologist James McClellan is drawn into its orbit, what begins as a search for meaning becomes a race against a man determined to rewrite humanity itself. Alongside a soldier forged by war, a brilliant scientist, and the pilot who led them through the skies, James follows the Atlas's invisible lines across the earth - from battlefields to sacred mountains, from the corridors of power to the hidden base where all lines converge.
The Spiral Atlas is a novel of maps and memory, of how people remain connected long after they're gone. It asks the oldest question in a new way: if every choice draws a line, what shape does humanity make when all the lines are seen together?
