Ballast: A Deep-Sea Sabotage Thriller

By Abir M

Three thousand meters down, something is killing this station one system at a time.

Nadia Voss is the only one awake when the numbers stop adding up: a scrubber failing too fast, a hull seam stressed on purpose, a colleague dead in a flooded corridor with a full tank of air. Someone built these failures to look like age, deniable, gradual, the kind no inquiry would ever trace back to a decision. She has six hours of breathable air to prove they didn't.

The person who did this might be one of the three people she just woke up to help her survive it.

What she finds isn't an accident. It's a decision, made forty-one floors above an ocean none of its architects will ever have to survive, and the only way to stop it from happening again is to make sure the whole world hears exactly what she heard.

Some things don't fail on their own.
