Lunar Gateway Encounter: A First Contact Novella
In the quiet of lunar orbit, our first whisper to the stars might be our last breath.

Cut off from immediate help and with the eyes of the world upon them, astronauts Dr. Isabella Bellucci and Commander Scott Harlow suddenly become humanity's first—and possibly last—line of defense.
As Earth descends into panic and the Gateway's systems begin to fail, Isabella and Scott face an impossible adhere to cautious protocol or take a daring leap into the unknown.

good first contact novella
This was a first contact novella that read well. The ending was unexpected but made sense. It had the usual drama earthside and conflict between characters. It was a cute read
