Celestial Exodus Chronicles. Ignition, Earth - David Jones

Dr. Elena Sinclair didn't set out to save humanity. She set out to power it.

At the heart of the HelioGenesis project lies a breakthrough that could deliver limitless clean energy-an artificial fusion system capable of harnessing the power of the sun itself. Backed by global investors and watched by the world's most powerful leaders, Elena stands on the edge of a new era.

But when the first full-scale test begins, something goes wrong. What was meant to secure humanity's future instead threatens to unravel it.

As governments scramble for answers and the world teeters on the brink of collapse, an impossible question emerges:

Do we stay and try to fix what we've broken... or abandon Earth entirely?

As the race for survival begins, humanity must decide-fight for their home, or gamble everything on a future among the stars.

For fans of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, this is a gripping hard science fiction thriller about ambition, consequence, and the cost of progress.
