Incident on Val 4: Pitch Space #1

By John Reiswig

Book Overview

A Frontier World.

A Hidden Threat.

A Fight for Survival.

The colony of Tellus was meant to be a beacon of progress on the rugged world of Val 4, a testament to humanity's ability to tame the wilds of space. Built on the bones of an abandoned settlement, it is a place of ambition and opportunity, where scientists, corporate interests, and frontier settlers carve out a living against an unforgiving landscape.

But something is wrong beneath the surface.

When a ship crashes in the wastelands beyond Tellus, its arrival sets off a chain of events that will push the colony to its breaking point. Isolated, locked down, and cut off from the rest of civilization, the people of Tellus must confront a terrifying unknown. The air grows thick with whispers of corporate secrets, lost experiments, and dangers that lurk in the shadows.

As former soldier Ryder Holt and a small band of survivors navigate the chaos, they must face the truth about what's happening to their colony, and how far they're willing to go to save it.

With time running out and the lines between man and monster blurring, Incident on Val4 is a gripping tale of survival, mystery, and the untamed dangers of the final frontier.

Customer Reviews

This one hit hard. Gritty, tense, and way more emotional than I expected.

I picked this up thinking it was just another colony gone wrong story, but it surprised me. The slow unraveling of the situation on the planet made it feel like I was trapped there with them. The pacing is sharp, and doesn't get bogged down. Some of the moments really stuck with me, and I’ll be thinking about this one for a while.
