A space opera debut from Christopher Clapper. An unlikely crew. A galaxy under siege. The first book in a planned series — and an expanding universe already live on the web.
Nico Altaris was never supposed to lead a rebellion. A former street scavenger and pit fighter from Drenvar, he carries something most people don't know about — the transferred consciousness of Nikola Tesla, present from birth, giving him pattern recognition at a level most people cannot comprehend.
When Conlor Ba'ash — Supreme Ruler of the Ebon Dominion — dissolves the Galaxian High Council by dropping kinetic bombardment rods on seven worlds and killing 21 billion people, the galaxy loses its government in a single event known as D-7. Into that silence, Nico builds something new: Caltrop Space Command.
Alongside a crew of warriors, engineers, and survivors — Vexa, a Zytharan warrior one of the last of her people. Ada, a pilot with a vendetta. Cog, a sentient Mechanoid. Ramona, who has nothing left to lose. And Flint, Nico's oldest friend, back from somewhere he should not have survived — CSC becomes the galaxy's last functioning resistance.
TETRA HEDRON: Architects of Outcome is the first book in a planned series. Book Two is already in development.
Christopher S. Clapper is a science fiction author and HPC Engineer from Pennsylvania. A lifelong fan of astronomy, space exploration, and science fiction, he built the TETRA HEDRON universe from the ground up over years — original species, factions, technology, history, and a galaxy with 76 named star systems. TETRA HEDRON: Architects of Outcome is his debut novel.
Christopher S. Clapper is an HPC Engineer living in Pennsylvania who spent years building a science fiction universe in the margins of his day job. A lifelong lover of astronomy, space exploration, and the kind of science fiction that fires the imagination rather than demands perfection, he channeled those influences into the TETRA HEDRON series — a sprawling space opera set in an original universe with its own alien species, factions, technology, and history spanning thousands of years.
TETRA HEDRON: Architects of Outcome is his debut novel and the first in a planned multi-book series. The accompanying universe archive at tetrahedronbooks.com features interactive character dossiers, faction files, an interactive galaxy map with 76 star systems, and a full system index — already live and expanding.
