Zero Visibility

Zero Visibility is a high-stakes, cinematic thriller that plunges Commander Aris Thorne and his small crew into a living nightmare within the confines of Research Station 7, an isolated, state-of-the-art facility deep in the Antarctic. When a severe blizzard triggers a communications blackout and a crucial data drive vanishes from a locked vault, the race for survival begins as paranoia and suspicion quickly fracture the tight-knit crew. Thorne must navigate a psychological standoff and an ensuing mutiny, fighting to expose the true culprit, a compromised young research assistant, before he and his team are permanently silenced by an unseen corporate empire, the powerful Typhon Group. The novella escalates into a gripping legal and political thriller as the crew is extracted from the ice and thrust into a federal courtroom. Thorne, branded a saboteur and violent criminal, battles against an overwhelming tide of circumstantial evidence and a government cover-up. With his appointed lawyer, Margaret Chen, he forces a high-stakes confrontation for access to classified intelligence, ultimately putting the justice system itself on trial. Zero Visibility is a story of human weakness, corporate power, and the fight for truth in a world where the lines between hero and villain are blurred, and where true justice is a messy, complicated affair, just like the lives caught in the storm.
