They are among us: and have always been here

From the dawn of civilization to the future of humanity, a dark secret binds the fate of men to an intelligence from the stars. When a meteorite crashes into prehistoric Earth, it doesn't carry life: it carries seeds. Spores of an alien mycelium, as ancient as the stars, that survives by feeding on progress and ambition. From the builders of the pyramids to the architects of Gothic cathedrals, from Leonardo da Vinci to the scientists of the future, every great leap of humanity hides a dark pact: the Mycocelestial, fungal entities with a collective mind, offer genius and power, in exchange for an evolution that will erase every trace of humanity.

Khaemu, an Egyptian architect cursed with the gift of visions. Neferet, a rebellious priestess who steals a fragment of the spore heart. Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance genius possessed by an alien obsession. Amara Singh, a modern scientist who discovers the fungal code in her son's DNA. Across the centuries, an epic struggle unfolds between those who want to dominate the stars and those who fight to save the soul of man.

As ancient monuments reveal themselves to be antennas calling a fleet of meteorites, and human DNA hides a message written by extraterrestrial minds, "Galactic Bloom" unveils a chilling truth: true progress has never been ours.

A historical-scientific thriller that defies every temporal boundary, where biology merges with the sacred and archaeology with the futuristic. With a revolutionary science that makes alien mycelium not only plausible, but inevitable, this book transforms monuments, myths, and discoveries into tiles of an apocalyptic mosaic.

Because some truths are buried in the past. Because some threats bloom in the future.

The first chapter of an epic that traverses time and space and will leave the reader wondering: How much control do we really have over our destiny?

"A saga that combines Dan Brown with H.P. Lovecraft, with the scientific verve of Michael Crichton. Impossible not to wonder, after closing the book: What if it were true?"
