1891 Adventure of the First Expedition to the Moon

Book One of the Selene Reborn Series — Steampunk. Alternate History. Lunar Revolution

The Moon was not empty.
And humanity was never meant to reach it unchallenged.

In 1891, visionary inventor Nikola Tesla, a brilliant but overlooked English engineer, and a daring Texas industrialist attempt the impossible: building Artemis, a revolutionary steampunk aethership capable of reaching the Moon.

What they discover shatters every assumption.

Beneath the lunar surface lie ancient ruins, lost technologies, and evidence of civilizations far older than humanity itself. As Earth’s first explorers step onto alien ground, wonder turns to danger—and ambition becomes a liability. Forces awaken that do not welcome intrusion, and survival demands choices that will echo across worlds.

Amid crumbling tunnels and forgotten machines, alliances are forged, loyalties tested, and love emerges where calculation said it should not. But something else stirs in the shadows—something that once destroyed worlds and may do so again.

Artemis Rising is a sweeping steampunk alternate-history science-fiction adventure, blending Victorian ingenuity, hard science, and cosmic mystery into the opening chapter of an epic series.
