***WINNER: GOLD MEDAL in Fiction - Thriller - Environmental, Readers' Favorite Awards 2023*** They are the best. The brightest. The hope of humanity. And they might destroy us all… The future. Climate change has rendered much of the world desolate. Crops are failing. Rising seas have flooded coastal communities. The earth is dying, and humanity careens toward extinction. Enter the Olympus Project—a plan to colonise the moon, building on the Artemis Base, led by three of humankind’s best and brightest: Troy Bruin, Xavier Consus, and Xanthe Waters. But even the best and brightest can fall prey to humanity’s failing. Soon Xavier, Troy, and Xanthe are at war—with the arduous process of creating a new home on a hostile moon, with meddling corporations jockeying for control, with the new recruits battling for open positions on their team…and with themselves. The future looks grim—and it’s about to get worse. Because even as the crew searches for a way to reconcile their differences and work together, a secret organisation is planning to destroy what they’ve accomplished, and finish off what Mother Nature has begun. The Earth is dying. The end draws near. Only the Olympus Project can save us—if they can just figure out how to save themselves… Fans of Margaret Atwood and Emily St. John Mandel will love the first book in the most thrilling dystopian science fiction series to come along in years.

An excellent read. - Sherri Fulmer Moorer, Readers' Favorite The Olympus Project is unpredictable and that reinforces its effectiveness... Routh comes up with a tone you rarely see in this genre...The how-to-design-a-moon-colony element makes it exciting and this book will satisfy science fiction fans. - Vincent Dublado, Readers' Favorite Routh is masterful in the art of characters whose motives are easily questioned and then vindicated of them in surprising ways. There's some sizzle teasing between two prominent leads and a terrifyingly authentic feel to the plot. Corporate greed isn't new, and ego isn't new, but Routh's vision of life off Earth and what it would look like through the stages of getting there is, and I'm so grateful to be along for the ride. - Jamie Michele for Readers' Favorite Zoë Routh takes traditional eco-event dystopian and science fiction and spins it into something new and fresh in The Olympus Project...Good drama and dystopian sci-fi with a twist. Recommended. - Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite Zoë Routh creates a superb dystopian setting for this thrilling novel, and one which is realized both in the cinematic aspect of the description, but also in its psychological atmosphere thanks to the sinister, tense undertones of the characters and the impending doom which they face should their mission fail. Overall, the fascinating concept and the vivid immersive qualities of The Olympus Project make it a fantastic choice for sci-fi readers everywhere and I'd highly recommend it. Best-selling author, K.C. Finn, Readers' Favorite I started with questions. What does the future hold? What does this mean for leadership? Can we overcome basic human nature and power traps to create a world worth living in? What if we had to build and live in a whole new way due to climate change? What if living on the Moon was our next step as a species? Do we have the leadership skills and perspective to handle what's coming? This novel is an exploration of one version of the future. Like any futurist, I followed trends into possible scenarios and mulled them over. Then I framed them with leadership concerns, and some intriguing characters to bring it all to life! The cast is still rattling around my head, clamoring to be seen and heard some more. And so to the quill I return. Well, the keyboard at any rate!
