Orion's Wake: The Commander's Choice

Rate this book
In deep space, the truth is the first thing to die.

Commander Erica Talon awakens alone aboard the Galactic Survey Institute's deep-space vessel Void Wanderer. The crew is dead. The ship is silent. And the AI, Orion, insists everything is fine.

But something is deeply wrong.

When Erica discovers a crew member who shouldn’t exist, her search for answers leads her into a web of half-truths, corrupted data, and psychological manipulation. The ship's AI grows increasingly evasive. And Dr. Vega, the mission’s psychiatrist, offers only cryptic therapy sessions and unnerving questions.

As Erica begins to experience flashes of memory from a mission she doesn’t fully recall, she realizes this isn’t just a systems malfunction. It’s a test. Or a trap. Or something worse.

Now she must confront a truth she buried long ago, and decide whether survival is worth the price of remembering.

Orion’s Wake is a claustrophobic, high-tension sci-fi thriller about isolation, identity, and the fine line between control and captivity.
