Minute Drift

By Alan McShane

A routine inspection. A station that can't keep time. A crew already losing the fight against something they can't explain.

Kestrel-6 is running on borrowed minutes. Tasks are completed before they begin. Confirmations arrive before orders are given. Errors repeat with mechanical precision - always at the wrong second, always getting worse.

The records that should explain it are gone. The warning that should have stopped it was erased. And the deeper the crew digs, the more terrifying the truth becomes: whatever is happening on Kestrel-6 is not random.

It is learning.

Cut off in Mercury's shadow, with help days away, trust begins to fracture. Systems fail. Missing seconds pile up. And the station may already be covering for something far worse than human error.

Minute Drift is a claustrophobic sci-fi horror novel of isolation, paranoia, and creeping dread - where time itself cannot be trusted, and something in the system is always one step ahead.
