Sinopsis

In "Aquapolis: The City," humanity faces a dire future as rising sea levels threaten coastal cities worldwide. Set in 2150, this gripping science fiction novel follows Dr. Amelia Chen and Captain Marcus Reeves as they lead the ambitious project to build an underwater metropolis in the Pacific Ocean. Their contrasting personalities—Amelia's visionary optimism and Marcus's pragmatic caution—create a dynamic tension that propels the story forward.   
As the team grapples with the immense challenges of constructing Aquapolis, from structural integrity issues to the psychological toll of subsea living, a series of mysterious equipment failures raises suspicions of sabotage. The narrative plunges readers into a world of transparent domes, hydroponic farms, and sprawling underwater tunnels, vividly portraying the marvels of marine technology.   
Against the backdrop of climate change and environmental disaster, the characters race against time to uncover the source of the sabotage and save their fledgling underwater civilization. This suspenseful ecological thriller explores themes of human adaptation, resilience, and the ethical implications of pioneering new frontiers.   
With its blend of futuristic science and deep-sea exploration, "Aquapolis: The City" offers a unique vision of humanity's response to global crisis, appealing to readers who crave thought-provoking science fiction rooted in real-world issues.

    “Harper’s debut delivers a compelling mix of mystery and dark comedy... Harper’s writing is crisp, witty, and conversational... The crime is layered and engaging, but not overly complex, and despite the wit the suspense is consistent as Harper deftly blends mystery, satire, and Brooklyn character study, all with impeccable scenecraft. Harper stages surprises, revelations, gags, and bursts of self-discovery with equal aplomb. Even readers steeped in the genre will find the ending a dazzling surprise with real emotional resonance.” BookLife (Editor’s Pick)Paul, a part-time actor and full-time narcissist, just knows that his wife is having an affair with the dog trainer who lives upstairs in their luxury apartment building. But when he tries to catch them in the act, he finds the neighbor’s corpse instead. And now he can’t find his wife anywhere.With only the building’s alluring front desk person to help him, Paul must find the killer before the cops pin the murder on him. Soon, he discovers that his fellow over-privileged tenants aren’t as bland as their jobs in digital marketing suggest, and he is drawn into a hidden world of greed, lust, and misused animal narcotics.But Paul’s biggest obstacle to solving this mystery lies within himself. Can he stop lying, navel-gazing, and indulging in his own depression long enough to do some actual detective work? Or is the pool on the roof too damn enticing?While serving up a who-done-it in the vein of Anthony Horowitz’s Hawthorne and Horowitz series, Additional Attendee maintains the momentum and contains the grit of an Elmore Leonard novel. Along the way, it offers up a healthy dose of existential comedy in the tradition of Gary Shteyngart and Sam Lipsyte.
