Blue Shift Protocol
In the coldest reaches of Jupiter’s orbit, the mining vessel Nightingale intercepts an incoming asteroid—hollowed, shaped, and unmistakably touched by human hands.
To the crew, it’s an unexpected find raising many questions as they prepare to bring their prize back to Nexus Station. To Trenton Keller, the ship’s mechanic, it’s something else entirely.
As the miners work to haul the rock home, clues to the object’s history begin to surface, linking the asteroid to a classified experiment buried in their colony’s past.
And when the mission turns deadly, it falls to Trenton to uncover the truth before the artifact claims more lives and threatens to tear the crew apart.
Blue Shift Protocol is a chilling blend of hard sci-fi with horror elements set against the unforgiving backdrop of a struggling human colony in Jupiter's orbit. It will appeal to fans of The Expanse, Event Horizon, and The Martian.

Sad
Sad from the beginning, and got sadder as you read. None the less, a good story, though very unconventional. Quite different from the author's other books. A completely different take from the other space oriented books I have read.
