Synopsis

Star Sheriff Jack Kessler thought a posting to Osiris I would mean the quiet life he'd earned - a distant Saturnian colony, a war long behind him. But when a miner dies under suspicious circumstances, the local police and the all-powerful Solar Mining Corporation want it dismissed as an accident. Jack knows better.

 

What begins as a single death unravels into a web of conspiracy: compromised institutions, weaponized belief, and a planetary revolt disguised as progress. As he digs deeper, Jack finds himself protecting a grieving teenager, confronting a manipulative corporate regime, and reckoning with the ghosts that still haunt his damaged body and mind.

 

From magnetic MagSled rails looping the city to the ever-present HoloLens connecting every colonist, Osiris Rising immerses you in a vividly imagined future - one where survival, loyalty, and truth collide in unexpected ways.

 

A story of memory embedded in the body, the failure of institutional morality, and the quiet defiance of found family, Osiris Rising resists genre clichés in favor of moral ambiguity, slow revelation, and the notion that survival itself can be the most radical act.

 

The first installment in The Jack Kessler Chronicles. Perfect for fans of character-driven science fiction, layered mysteries, and richly detailed worlds.

About this title

About the Author

Milos Davidovic is a Serbian-born, Swedish author whose writing is shaped by a life lived across borders - geographic, cultural, and emotional. Raised in the vibrant complexity of former Yugoslavia and educated in political science and classical literature, Milos has called many cities home, from Belgrade to Oxford, Lund to Smederevo. His multilayered experience informs the layered, human-centered storytelling found in his fiction. His work explores identity, power, and exile through speculative lenses that blend realism with the mythic. Osiris Rising is his debut novel and the first volume of The Jack Kessler Chronicles-a saga that navigates war, truth, and found family at the edges of the Solar System.When not writing, Milos is often chasing sunlight with his trusty camera, watching obscure political dramas, or sharing stories with his four year old daughter.
