A pilot fights for survival as her ship bleeds oxygen into the void. Engineers in India and Brazil grapple with systems where a single miscalculation could devastate the planet. Medical professionals on Earth and the Moon battle a deadly epidemic. Welcome to the new frontier, where space travel is routine, profit margins are tight, and lives hang in the balance between human ingenuity and corporate interests. Moonrise weaves interconnected stories across orbital stations, lunar colonies, and the institutions that bind them. These tales explore a future where cutting-edge technology meets cost-cutting measures, where the hard realities of physics collide with human ambition, and where orbital mechanics matter. The first in a trilogy from authors with backgrounds in medicine, engineering, and technology ... for readers who demand science fiction as hard as the vacuum of space.
