Coming Summer 2026

The Bootstrap Paradox

He died so the world could believe.
She crossed so the world could survive.

A crew captures ancient light and watches sacred history unfold. What they find is more real than the legends, and more devastating. Now one woman must carry a burden that will shatter her, because the alternative shatters everything else. A story about what happens when love demands the impossible — and gets it.

A hard science fiction novel grounded in real theology — treating science and faith as equals.

Hard Science Fiction

Alcubierre fold drives. Temporal observation arrays. Quantum decoherence. Bootstrap paradoxes. The science is plausible, the technology is grounded, and the consequences are real.

✝

Serious Theology

What happens when the mechanism of the miracle is visible? Does divinity survive the discovery? Faith and science share the same table — and neither gets to leave early.

A Family Story

A mother and daughter. A grandmother and granddaughter. How much would you sacrifice for your family — and for humanity? At its core, this is about what love costs when the answer is everything.

The Premise

What if the resurrection was a medical procedure?

It began with a ship. A crew. A telescope pointed not at the future, but at the ancient past. The further you travel from Earth, the older the light that reaches you — and somewhere out in the black, the light of a single Friday afternoon in Jerusalem was still traveling outward, waiting to be caught.

We caught it.

What we saw shattered the story we had been telling ourselves for two thousand years. The events were real. They were just never miraculous in the way the legends tell us — they were something more extraordinary than that.

We broadcast the truth. The world did not thank us for it.

And then a message arrived from the ancient past — and everything we thought we understood about God, about ourselves, about the nature of sacrifice, came apart.

More Than a Book

A novel. A musical drama. An immersive experience.

The Bootstrap Paradox isn't just a book — it's a world. When it launches this summer, it arrives in formats designed to be experienced together or on their own.

The Novel

45 chapters across five acts. A complete, standalone story that doesn't require the music or the experience — but rewards those who explore all three.

Hardcover, paperback, and digital

The Audiobook

The complete novel, narrated. For those who want to experience the story on the road, on a run, or in the dark with their eyes closed — where a story like this might hit the hardest.

Available at launch

The Musical Version

In the tradition of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds — the full story told through narration, song, and orchestra. A complete dramatic work that stands on its own.

Original score releasing alongside the novel

The Interactive Experience

An immersive companion that lets you live inside the world of the novel. We're building something that puts you at the center of the story — not as a spectator, but as a witness.

Launching with the book — Summer 2026

Early Readers

“I haven't stopped thinking about this book in three weeks. It broke something in me — and then rebuilt it.”

— Early reader

“The rare novel that treats faith with the same rigor it gives quantum mechanics — and doesn't flinch from either.”

The Author

David Moss

Fort Lauderdale, FL

David Moss grew up loving science fiction because it lets us ask the biggest questions with our feet still on the ground. The writers who shaped him — Niven, Ellison, and Le Guin — taught him that great sci-fi isn't about gadgets; it's about people facing truths that don't fit neatly into what they already believe.

The Bootstrap Paradox is his debut novel.
