Orbital Plague

By Jeffrey J Egbert

Aurora Station was humanity's beacon of progress-until a mutated pathogen turned it into a death trap. Quarantined in orbit, the crew of ten faces mutiny, betrayal, and the fire of reentry as Earth watches from below. In a battle between survival and sacrifice, their choices will decide not just their fate, but the planet's.

Aurora Station was meant to secure humanity's future. Built as a shining laboratory in low Earth orbit, it carried the promise of colonization, science, and hope. But when a mutated pathogen takes root in the greenhouse, devouring plants and threatening Earth's ecosystem, the dream becomes a nightmare.

Sealed under military quarantine, the crew of ten finds themselves stranded with no rescue, no return, and no second chances. As the contagion spreads and containment fails, loyalties fracture. Mutiny brews, alliances shatter, and desperate gambits are made as the station begins its fiery descent toward Earth.

On the ground, generals, scientists, and politicians wage their own battles-over truth, silence, and the cost of survival. In orbit, Commander Elena Vasquez and her crew cling to rails, to hope, and to each other as fire consumes their fragile home.

Blending hard science fiction with thriller tension and political conspiracy, Orbital Plague delivers a relentless story of courage, betrayal, and sacrifice. Fans of The Expanse, Apollo 13, and Contagion will find themselves immersed in a tale where the smallest organism becomes the deadliest enemy-and survival means choosing who, and what, to sacrifice.

The sky will burn. The truth will be buried. And Earth will endure-if Aurora does not.
