Flagship Series: New Cardano
Our premier fiction universe, New Cardano, is a sweeping saga set in a retro-futuristic America shaped by nuclear ambition, community spirit, and a mysterious event called The Surge.
- Book One: Blast Off! introduces the strange beginnings of a health tonic empire, experimental bottlecaps, and the charismatic men behind them.
- Future installments will explore the collapse, and rebirth, of civilization from the heart of Monroe, Louisiana.
Why It Matters:
- 5% of all book sales are donated to ALZ.org to fund Alzheimer’s research and support.
This mission is personal—and every story you read helps advance the fight against memory loss and neurodegenerative disease.
- Inspired by the Cardano blockchain, we embrace decentralization, transparency, and long-term thinking both in our narratives and our values.
Ada Forge Books is where the past meets the future, where fiction serves a cause, and where stories are designed to endure.
