The Phoenix Experiment
INTRODUCTION
The Phoenix Experiment is set aboard a sleek science vessel adrift in deep space. Earth is a ravaged world below, consumed by banshees, environmental collapse, and human corruption. A small crew of orphaned children lives on the ship in a sterile, regimented existence, undergoing a mysterious procedure called the Phoenix Experiments. The tone is tense, haunting, and emotionally restrained. The world rewards control and punishes feeling. Mystery threads through every corridor, and beneath the ship's clinical surface, something ancient and malevolent waits.
LOGLINE
When their android murders the helmsman and unleashes a supernatural evil, orphaned Jax Hutson must master his emotions to destroy The Djinn or lose his crew and any hope of returning to Earth.

Award-winning and bestselling author Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and Inky, Pinky, Blinky & Clyde, the finches. He is the prolific author of the bestselling “Dissonance” 6-book alien invasion saga, the Christian dystopian saga “The End,” the sci-fi thrillers “Forecast,” “The Phoenix Experiment” and “The Slide,” the children’s picture books “The Ring of Truth,” “The Sword of Joy” and “The Book of Power,” the business reference business books “How to Successfully Self-Publish & Promote Your Self-Published Book” and nearly 50 books. When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, “The Electric Boy” was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron’s desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create. He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more. The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment. Aaron’s favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Michael Crichton, Marie Lu, Madeleine L’Engle, John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Stephen King and Dave Barry. Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling.
We live in an age of AI. I'm very proud to be a verified human. The ability to create is a gift that I was endowed by my Creator, and I will never forfeit that nor set it aside to propagate something synthetic and imitative. Everything you've read by me in this novel, and in my other works, is 100% entirely created by me, the genuine article. I'm a verified human, and always will be. The cost of AI to creatives, industries, relationships as well as the environment is destructive, and needs to be controlled and harnessed. That is why I wrote this novel.
