Welcome to "Closer Than the Sun" - the cosmic competition where death is entertainment, physics is optional, and a Hawaiian shirt might be the most advanced technology in the universe.For twelve years, the Galaxy's bravest (and most unhinged) beings have competed in the ultimate test: get closer to the Sun than anyone before and live to tell about it. Most don't. The prize? Enough money to buy your own galaxy. The cost? Usually your life.Enter six impossible contestants: Ping - A three-time champion penguin with ice technology that defies realityGaseous Medusa - A metal-eating cloud with dreams of stellar fusionDrim - A diamond giant seeking the most beautiful death in the cosmosThe Silent Monk - Who plans to meditate his way into a star's consciousnessEl Chrysler - A time-traveling mechanic with a souped-up CamaroDolph - A mysterious dolphin who promises to do the impossible: kiss the SunWhat starts as the Galaxy's deadliest game show evolves into something unprecedented - a story about loneliness, friendship, and the discovery that even stars need love. As contestants transform death into art, ice into fire, and space into ocean, one question emerges: What happens when you stop trying to conquer the Sun and start trying to understand it?Combining the spectacle of "The Hunger Games" with the heart of "The Little Prince" and the physics-bending wonder of "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," this is the story of how six impossible heroes taught a lonely star to dream.Warning: Contains cosmic surfing, weaponized economics, singing plasma, time loops, and the most expensive kiss in galactic history. Side effects may include believing in the impossible.
