Synopsis

What if there's a stable red dwarf system inside a supermassive black hole, where an advanced civilization has evolved?

As an astrophysicist who studies supermassive black hole mergers, I've written a hard science fiction novel exploring this fascinating possibility.

In the novel, when astrophysicist Chang-Geng Zhang's Mars mission goes catastrophically wrong, she finds herself trapped inside a supermassive black hole—where an advanced civilization has somehow survived and thrived around a red dwarf star. With only a cat named Victor as her companion from Earth, she must navigate alien politics, genetic modification, and the fundamental question of what makes someone human when consciousness can be transferred between bodies.

Some of the concepts explored in the novel:

🔹 Daily life inside a black hole - How an advanced civilization harnesses energy from the black hole itself and what their survival methods look like in this extreme gravitational environment

🔹 Evolutionary biology in extreme conditions - These beings reproduce through genetic optimization technology now, but their ancestral genetic material was actually jellyfish-like (yes, I went deep into xenobiology here)

🔹 Exotic musicology - Musical scales that directly correspond to the number of celestial bodies visible in their unique sky, creating entirely new harmonic possibilities

🔹 Resource scarcity in "infinite" space - Even with access to black hole energy, civilizations still face their own version of an energy crisis

🔹 Human nature and ethics - How jealousy, betrayal, and power struggles persist even in the most advanced civilizations, and what defines humanity when technology allows infinite self-replication

Perfect for readers who enjoy hard science fiction that challenges both scientific understanding and philosophical assumptions.
