Coronal Mass Ejection Blues
For blind pilot Aris Thorne, the smog-choked skies of Sky-Haven 7 aren't seen, they're felt. He navigates the treacherous underbelly of the station by the groans of his ornithopter, the Stellacrow, and the echoes of its engines off corroded steel. His is a world of texture, sound, and regret—a life spent running from a past that cost him his sight.
Desperate for a score big enough to finally disappear, Aris takes on a high-yield, low-exposure transport run. The job is ferry a single, unmarked cryo-pod to a dead-zone sector known only as the Aetherium Drift—a graveyard where ships go to die. But from the moment the chillingly cold cargo is locked in his hold, his finely tuned senses scream that something is wrong. This is no simple package. The pod hums with a faint, non-mechanical energy… something that feels unnervingly alive.
Now, with a silent, frozen passenger and a destination that promises suicide, Aris is flying headlong into a conspiracy far deadlier than a simple smuggling run. The Aetherium Drift is not just a navigational hazard; it's a crucible that will test the limits of his unique skills. To survive, he must trust the one sense he has left—his gut—and uncover the truth behind the silent passenger he has sworn to protect. Because this job is no longer about credits. It's about a choice, and the echoes of his past are about to collide with the storm of his future.
Coronal Mass Ejection Blues is a gripping, atmospheric tech-noir adventure perfect for fans of Blade Runner, The Expanse, and gritty, character-driven science fiction that explores the shadows of a dystopian future.
