PetaHertz Trilogy
This sci-fi trilogy takes place across multiple timelines, spanning from the 1940s and beyond.
About the Trilogy
The PetaHertz Trilogy revolves around a previously unknown physical phenomenon—an extremely high-frequency signal at 1.0 petahertz that can penetrate all matter without being affected. This signal exists everywhere but can only be detected using highly advanced specialized instruments.
A group of physicists discovers the signal and realizes that it controls time and space. They find a way to manipulate it but fail to grasp the catastrophic consequences. Reluctantly, they are drawn into a chain of events that forces them to question their understanding of the world—and their own lives. They have awakened powerful forces that will fundamentally change the world.
The first installment of the thrilling PetaHertz trilogy, Our Life Is Not Our Own, is available now. It is a gripping blend of science fiction, mystery, and speculative science, perfect for fans of puzzle-solving and scientifically grounded thrillers.
FIRST BOOK
OUR LIFE IS NOT OUR OWN
When Ulla, a physics student at Lund University, clears out her murdered grandfather’s apartment, she uncovers a shocking truth: the man she knew as a humble Iranian taxi driver was once a brilliant researcher, harbouring technology capable of reshaping time and space. As Ulla delves deeper, she gains access to his groundbreaking invention, but with such power comes danger, and she finds herself in a race against those who would exploit it.
In Antarctica, three explorers discover a floating digital clock encased in an impenetrable force field, while researcher Angus detects a mysterious 1.0 PetaHertz signal that penetrates all matter. As these phenomena converge, Ulla and Angus join forces to unravel a puzzle spanning continents and decades. With time running out, their discoveries may be humanity’s last hope to stop an impending catastrophe.
As a colossal experiment threatens global annihilation, Ulla and Angus uncover secrets linking cryptic notes, advanced physics, and a chilling signal. Confronting the mysteries of time and space, they must act quickly—or risk the collapse of everything they know.

SECOND BOOK
THE WORLD IS MINE (prel.)
Scientists White and Shirazi uncover the truth about the petahertz signal and how it can be used to manipulate time and space. The technology falls into the hands of Dr. Künckel, the head of Hitler’s secret research center. Künckel believes he is destined to use petahertz technology to change the world and begins methodically executing his plan. Assisting him is the vile Dr. Jahnke.
Physics student Ulla Bengtsson continues her investigations, looking into Künckel’s involvement in the murder of her grandfather. Will she realize the forces she has challenged before it’s too late? Only a few know what is about to happen, and they are the only ones who can stop it. A desperate race against time and an overwhelming enemy begins.
The World Is Mine is not just science fiction—it is also a study of evil and the fragility of life. In this second book of the Petahertz Trilogy by author and research director Orest Lastow, philosophy intertwines with physics. Spanning decades, the story unveils a massive conspiracy and introduces a technology that holds immense potential—but also extreme dangers.
