Description

Seventy-two hours. No rescue. One last chance to make peace.

Eighteen months ago, Commander Elias Vance gave an order that saved forty-three lives, and killed his wife. Now he hauls cargo on the solar system's most dangerous routes, courting the death he's too proud to seek directly.

When a pirate attack sends his ship spiraling toward the Interloper—a rogue black hole at the edge of settled space—Elias faces a fate no one can prevent. With time dilation stretching his final hours into days, he finds himself in conversation with Yuki Tanaka, a rescue coordinator who lost her own brother to the same darkness sixteen years ago.

As the event horizon draws closer, Elias must finally confront the truth about the Battle of Hyperion, the wife who understood him better than he knew, and the life he's been refusing to live.

Orbiting Oblivion is a character-driven hard science fiction novella about guilt, grief, and the connections that matter most when rescue isn't possible.
