Celectial Ithaka. The Saga of the Cosmic Seagulls, #2

Nearly eight thousand years after humanity vanished into a catastrophic temporal distortion, a lone survivor awakens aboard the starship Terra Novus. Captain Lyki carries a mission bordering on the impossible: reconstruct a lost civilization from fragments of memory, genetic records, and traces left behind by three legendary colony ships swallowed by time itself. Humanity has become stardust, yet the possibility of rebirth remains.
As forgotten explorers return through mysterious processes of rematerialization, Lyki and his companions discover that survival is only the first step. Their new existence challenges everything they once believed about life, death, consciousness, and reality itself. On restored worlds and aboard immense interstellar habitats, they confront phenomena that defy science. Energy beings, higher dimensions, altered states of awareness, parallel layers of existence, and enigmatic entities known only as Guardians gradually reveal a truth far greater than the fate of a single species.
The boundaries separating matter and spirit begin to dissolve. While new colonies emerge among the stars, ancient questions return with greater urgency. What does it mean to be human? Can consciousness survive beyond physical existence? Is evolution merely biological, or is it the first stage of a far greater cosmic journey?As humanity prepares for a new beginning, Lyki and the awakened survivors must choose whether to preserve the old world or embrace a transformation that could lead them beyond the limits of space, time, and identity itself.
Celestial Ithaka is a sweeping philosophical science fiction novel that blends interstellar exploration, metaphysical mystery, post-human evolution, and cosmic wonder into an unforgettable voyage toward the ultimate destination, self-discovery among the stars. For readers of visionary science fiction, metaphysical adventures, and thought-provoking explorations of consciousness, Celestial Ithaka offers a journey where the greatest frontier is not the universe, but the nature of existence itself.
