The Humanity Blueprint is a series of hard science fiction novels written by American authors John Warner and Bill Woods and published by Kindle Direct Publishing. The first book, Harbinger in the Night was published in December 2021. A second book in the planned trilogy is set for release in early 2023.

The first book begins when a mystery object entering our Solar System interrupts the deployment of a constellation of nanosat telecommunication satellites (MarsLink) between Earth and Mars. The Americans, in concert with the Europeans, are in a new space race against the newly formed Russo-Sino Aerospace Consortium (RSAC). The Russians and Chinese have made the grudging alliance in order to catch up with the West's advancements in quantum computing and aerospace engineering spearheaded by the research investments made by TymeCorp, a multinational conglomerate lead by its founder Elaina Tyme. One of TymeCorp's lead engineers, Michael Thompson is on station overseeing the MarsLink deployment the night the object is detected. Michael is a quantum programming phenom, who was instrumental in developing the Quirinus navigational and station keeping AI software for the MarsLink project. Michael secretly used the base code for Quirinus as the foundation for a homebrewed quantum AI personality he developed and dubbed Gustav.

Meanwhile, Koda "Ghost" Cheveyo leads a team composed of elite military veterans (GhostWalkers) from various service branches and attached to the CIA as special operators. The team is on a mission to learn why the RSAC has set early prepped a Mars colony ship on a launch site at the Russian based cosmodrome in southern Kazakhstan.

The second book takes place 30 years since the events of Harbinger in the Night.
