In the gripping and visionary novel Year Ad Astra 31, the world stands on the precipice of a historic transformation. It’s January 2066—or AA 31, as it will soon be known—when humanity officially adopts a new calendar to mark its multi-planetary existence, with 2035’s first steps on Mars as its cornerstone.

As protests rage outside and personal ties strain under the weight of change, Lilly’s journey becomes a powerful exploration of identity, legacy, and humanity’s relentless reach for the stars. This thought-provoking tale blends speculative fiction with intimate human drama, capturing the moment when Earth’s past and the cosmos’ future collide.
