Broken Orbit

BROKEN ORBIT A Sci-Fi Mystery of Identity, Grief, and Survival at the Edge of Space I built a new face and a new name to escape the ghosts of my past. But on the star-freighter Indira, the dead don't stay buried. I'm just the mechanic. I fix broken engines, keep my head down, and pray my history doesn't catch up to me. At least, that was the plan. Until the smell of lavender—my dead wife's perfume—wafts through the vents. It leads me to a sabotage attempt that threatens to tear our ship apart. And something worse. A terrified boy hiding in the crawlspace. He's not just a stowaway. He's a pawn in a corporate game that trades children for profit. Now, we're being hunted by a black-ops network that wants their asset back. They know who I used to be. And the only thing keeping us from the vacuum is my wrench and a prayer. I couldn't save my own family. But I'll burn the galaxy down before I let them take this kid. Broken Orbit is a raw, deeply personal spacefaring thriller—a genre-defying novel that blends science fiction, psychological suspense, queer identity, and slow-burning mystery into a breathtaking emotional journey. Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Murderbot, and Station Eleven, this debut delivers stunning prose, unforgettable characters, and an intimate exploration of what it means to live authentically—even when the universe is broken.
