AFAF BEN __________________________ An event that could change the course of human history-and possibly end it. Fable Sky, the world's largest zero-pressure helium balloon, is set to embark on its inaugural flight into the stratosphere. The ambitious space tourism project has been years in the making, requiring detailed planning, the assembly of a highly trained crew, and a small fortune to bring it to fruition. As the groundbreaking journey into the uncharted stratosphere reaches its climax at 138,000 feet, disaster strikes, shattering the fragile peace below. Alone, adrift, and cut off from communication with flight control, the crew of five faces a perilous race against time, where their survival hangs in the balance. In this high-stakes adventure, the crew, led by Will, the project leader and captain, must push the limits of their ingenuity, resilience, and teamwork to endure the harsh stratospheric environment and looming catastrophe that awaits them on the ground. Will they reach safety before their oxygen supplies run out? BALLOON will leave you breathless with its breakneck action and unforgettable characters, set against the backdrop of a world forever changed.

Hope begins in the dark. But what if the dark holds a horrifying reality no one is prepared to face? Living below ground in darkness, the surviving crew members are alone and have no communication with the outside world. A simple choice awaits; sit tight and wait for a rescue that may never come or rise to face their destinies. Will and Ariane, the tough NASA research pilot, must be the ones to guide them in this choice, despite facing their own uncertainties as tensions run high between the Fable Sky crew. The new world holds secrets lurking deep beneath the rubble, but are the dangers only outside their shelter or is there a threat much closer to home? As the shadows draw in, the crew must face difficult choices, jeopardise their own humanity, and the strength of individuals must come to the fore. Balloon is a masterful, fast-paced adventure with a crisis that cannot be resolved, action that never slows down, and a world like you've never seen before.

As rations dwindle and graves are hastily dug, time has run out for the remaining crew. Traumatised by recent events but still alive, they must venture out into the unforgiving environment in one last desperate push to survive. They have suffered and sacrificed, and the memories of their previous lives comfort and torture them at equal turns. Once again, it comes down to Will to guide them through the dangers that inevitably lie ahead. A land of promise awaits, but first impossible decisions need to be made, and the Fable Sky crew must be prepared to pay the ultimate price. Balloon is a masterful, fast-paced adventure with a crisis that cannot be resolved, action that never slows down, and a world like you've never seen before.
