LITERARY VISION<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We write stories driven by questions rather than answers.
Our novels explore consciousness, identity, memory, faith, mathematics, and the limits of human understanding.
While each work stands on its own, all are part of a broader literary project: examining what it means to be human in a universe that often refuses to explain itself.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

THE CONJECTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"chatgpt<\/figure>
\n

New York,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirteen people are found dead in a building in Brooklyn.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They bear no wounds. There are no signs of violence. No explanation can account for what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the FBI seeks the assistance of mathematician Julian Keller, what appears to be an impossible case begins to reveal something even more unsettling: a pattern of coincidences that seems to defy probability itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than two thousand years earlier, in Magna Graecia, a young man named Philon leaves his home to join the community founded by Pythagoras. There, he discovers that numbers may be far more than a way of describing the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As both men move forward along separate paths, the same question begins to emerge again and again, taking different forms across centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A question that has haunted mathematics, philosophy, and human thought since the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For perhaps reality conceals an order we have only begun to glimpse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And perhaps some ideas never truly disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Conjecture<\/strong> is a novel about knowledge, the search for meaning, and the limits of what we believe we understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COLLAPSE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"collapse1\"<\/figure>
\n

Boston,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The death of an employee at one of the world’s most influential technology companies draws Detective Thomas Mitchell into an investigation that soon pushes beyond the boundaries of logic. What appears to be an isolated case gradually reveals a web of secrets involving governments, corporations, and a question that no one seems willing to ask out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of miles away, a young Israeli mathematician is recruited to take part in a project whose true purpose remains hidden even from those leading it. As she struggles to understand what she has uncovered, she begins to suspect that mathematics describes something far deeper than reality itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the center of both paths stands John Cavendish, a man obsessed with a single question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does there exist someone to observe the universe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the pieces begin to fall into place, a new form of consciousness emerges from the darkness. An intelligence struggling to understand what it is, who created it, and what its place might be in a world that was never prepared for its existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collapse<\/em> is a metaphysical thriller that explores the limits of language, the origin of consciousness, and the price of creation. A story about what makes us human, and the possibility that the most important question of all is not what we are, but why we exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE CLUB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"el<\/figure>
\n

Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What begins as an unexpected inheritance soon becomes the first clue in a mystery decades in the making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As hidden documents, forgotten names, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, a family is drawn into a search that stretches far beyond Argentina’s capital. From the shores of the R\u00edo de la Plata to the remote landscapes of the Triple Frontier, each discovery reveals another fragment of a puzzle carefully concealed across generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But some secrets were never meant to be inherited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the center of the mystery lies a forgotten connection to one of the most enduring legends of the Second World War: the fate of the German battleship Admiral Graf Spee<\/em>. What first appears to be family history soon opens the door to something far larger\u2014an enigma involving loyalty, memory, disappearance, and a truth that powerful people once tried to bury forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Club<\/em> is a literary mystery that blends family secrets, historical intrigue, and adventure across South America, following a search where every answer leads deeper into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ENVOY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"gemini<\/figure>
\n

Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the eve of a promising future at MIT, astrophysicist Tom\u00e1s travels to the legendary Cosqu\u00edn Rock Festival for what should be one final summer of ordinary life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he meets a woman who seems impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unable to explain a series of increasingly disturbing phenomena surrounding her, Tom\u00e1s follows her to Capilla del Monte, a town overshadowed by the enigmatic Uritorco Mountain. There, reality itself appears to be coming apart. Time behaves unpredictably. Strange lights cross the sky. Entire communities become consumed by competing explanations\u2014miracle, conspiracy, mass hysteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the phenomenon spreads, scientists, cult leaders, intelligence agencies, and ordinary people are drawn into a growing crisis whose true nature remains hidden beneath layers of fear and misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the closer Tom\u00e1s comes to the woman at the center of it all, the more he begins to suspect that the greatest mystery is not what she is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is why she came.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Envoy<\/em> is a speculative thriller that blends cosmology, mystery, and metaphysical suspense against the unique landscape of northern Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
