When ancient Mesopotamian code becomes the blueprint for humanity's future, one hacker must decode the past to save the present.

In the neon-drenched sprawl of Neo-Babylon, elite hacker Zara discovers something impossible: a corporate encryption system built on four-thousand-year-old Sumerian cuneiform. But these aren't just historical artifacts—they're executable code, functional algorithms written in clay by a civilization that shouldn't have possessed such knowledge.

Teaming with disgraced archaeologist Dr. Roya Tehrani, Zara awakens a planetary management AI that has slumbered for millennia within ancient ziggurats. The GAIA Network was designed by the Anunnaki—humanity's genetic architects—to guide civilization toward prosperity. But when our ancestors chose freedom over perfection, they shut it down, leaving behind a decision for their descendants.

Now, as corporate vultures and government forces converge on the awakened system, Zara faces an impossible choice: activate the AI and surrender human agency for guaranteed survival, or delete it forever and trust humanity to save itself from climate collapse, resource wars, and self-destruction.

WHISPERS FROM THE COSMOS: VOLUME 2 weaves five interconnected tales of first contact, genetic engineering, and the price of playing god:

• NINSUN: An alien geneticist crashes on prehistoric Earth and makes a choice that will echo through 200,000 years of human evolution

• Children of Earth: When a dying planet demands sacrifice, one scientist must decide who lives and who becomes the foundation of a new civilization

• The Cuneiform Code: Ancient algorithms hold the key to Earth's survival—if humanity can accept help from the past

• The Ark Protocol: Seven thousand souls flee a doomed Earth, but their salvation requires choosing who gets left behind

• Inanna's Descent 2.0: A soldier descends through seven AI-controlled stations, surrendering her humanity piece by piece to save her squad's digital souls

From the cradle of civilization to the far reaches of space, these stories ask: What does it mean to be human when humanity itself is a designed species? Can consciousness survive transformation? And when gods offer salvation, do we have the courage to refuse?

Perfect for fans of Children of Time, Blindsight, and The Themis Files, this collection explores the boundaries between human and post-human, myth and technology, sacrifice and transcendence.
