PLANET 23 ALPHA CENTAURI

What if first contact already happened?
At a time when Earth faces unprecedented challenges - environmental, social and spiritual - a message arrives from Alpha Centauri, the star system closest to our sun. On a morning in 1999, physics professor Lucca Di Salvatore picks up a hitchhiker on a California highway. The man who gets in the car is not from this world. Jack, a citizen of Planet 23 in the Alpha Centauri group, carries with him a theory that could change everything we think we know about the universe - and a warning humanity can no longer ignore. Through a journey that defies the known laws of space and time, Giovanni Petrilli leads us toward a vision where humanity must choose between fear and evolution. A novel that weaves quantum physics, expanded consciousness and interstellar contact to explore one fundamental question: are we ready for what is coming? "The purpose of this book is to create the possibility that humanity prepares itself for the challenges that are occurring, with possible solutions and future contact with other beings." Giovanni Petrilli D'Agostini was born in Rome in 1929 and arrived in Ecuador in 1952, where he lived until his death in 2018. He wrote this novel between 1998 and 2003. He never studied Spanish. He never published a book. He survived the Second World War. And yet, he found the words.
