Omschrijving

The Angkor Cipher
An Archaeological Sci-Fi Thriller

When Khmer linguist Dr. Vannary Keo translates a forgotten panel beneath the roots of Angkor, she doesn't find treasure—she finds a tool. The Mandala is no myth; it's a planet-taming design left behind by an ancient civilization. Its rules are disarmingly simple—ask first, act small, stop before echo—yet it can reshape rivers, quiet cities, and steady a world.

News leaks. Sponsors arrive with drones and money. Ministries want a grand demonstration. Pride wants a crown.

Vannary and a stubborn, brilliant crew carry the Mandala's "Borrowed Bowl" through courts, markets, ferries, and floodgates, proving that many small moves beat one big one. Each success draws a bigger test—and one wrong "ring" could tilt the delta, bruise a city, and turn the Mandala into a weapon.

To keep the Bowl from becoming a brand—or a disaster—Vannary must solve the last line of the cipher and lead a chorus of ordinary hands: bus drivers, nurses, fishers, kids who draw dots on the road. The final question isn't can the Mandala work, but who gets to speak for a planet when it does.

For readers of Contact, Children of Time, and The Three-Body Problem—a planetary-engineering mystery powered by an ancient design. Ancient method meets modern city; mystery becomes practice; and power learns to sit down.
