Granite Fields:

by George Right

A pack of 20-something spoiled rich kids—Earth’s "golden youth"—rockets to Hephaestus, a planet too savage for humans, chasing thrills unavailable at home. Rules? Optional. Their parents’ credits can fix anything. Until their fancy airship slams into the granite wilds, stranding them on a plateau above the clouds—endless rock, no water, no food, just the relentless cold wind getting stronger. Survival’s no game now, and as their polished masks crack, the real them—selfish, brittle, cutthroat—bleed out. Who’ll make it to the distant Earth base? And at what cost?

Granite Fields is a sci-fi gut-check of privilege versus planet—think The Expanse grit meets Alive desperation. Dive in for a fierce, unfiltered ride.
