Etulas

In Search of the Centrox

As Adam’s journey unfolds, he comes to realize that Centrox is far more than just a name—it is the essence of Etulas, the planet where the universal laws were born and the primal elements took shape. Guided by his companions, he uncovers profound truths about the universe: its structure, the sectors that create its borders, the elements responsible for the life forms, and the unseen threads that connect all things. This journey transports him from the familiar into realms beyond imagination, reshaping his understanding of reality and redefining his role within the vast hierarchy of existence.

Etulas – The Eternal Balance of Galaxies

Etulas: In Search of the Centrox is a cosmic science fiction novel that follows Adam Bookman, a curious teenager, on an extraordinary journey to the center of the universe. The adventure begins in the stargazing town of Amato Hill, where Adam uncovers an ancient artifact hidden in his late father’s binoculars.

This discovery sets off a chain of events that catapults Adam toward a destiny he never imagined. Thanks to his unique genetic makeup—linked to the rare circumstances of his birth—Adam gains the ability to access transport tunnels that lead him to Etulas, the largest planet in the universe.

Also known as the Centrox in ancient scrolls, Etulas holds the universe’s deepest secrets. It is here that the elements are created and dispersed across the galaxies, maintaining the delicate balance of the cosmos.

For the first time in human history, we glimpse at the true structure of the universe, not as a chaotic sprawl, but as an organized entity with a central core. The universe is arranged with eight helices -emanating from its central core, Etulas- each containing galaxies that shift and evolve in a precise, orderly fashion.

Every 1,000 years, Etulas gives birth to a new galaxy, adding it to one of the helices, furthering the expansion of the ever-growing universe.

Adam becomes entwined in this cosmic framework, drawn into the mysteries that his father and great-grandfather devoted their lives to solving. With the guidance of his grandfather, Dr. G, and the coded messages hidden within the artifact, Adam embarks on a journey to uncover truths no human has ever known—and ventures where no human has ever gone before.
