SOLEN: The Eden Archive is a hard science fiction series following the first human colonization of Mars, narrated in part by SOLEN, the mission AI. Beginning with NovaSeed: Eden Rising, the series follows structural engineer Carter and biologist Alina across a one-way mission to Mars, the discovery of subsurface life at Hellas Planitia, the birth of the first human born on another planet, and the century-long arc of the civilization that follows.
The series is built on real astrobiological and planetary science — subsurface brine hypotheses, Mars gravity physiology, AI consciousness research — extended into a grounded, character-driven narrative.
Comparable titles: The Martian (Andy Weir), Mars Trilogy (Kim Stanley Robinson), The Expanse series.
