Perihelion Drift

By Jason A

Perihelion Drift

The Roche Limit Chronicles, Book 1

When a corrupted deep-space transmission surfaces in a forgotten archive, technician Kalen Thar spots what no one else does: the numbers don't match. A neutron star is on a collision course with the system's life-giving sun-arriving decades earlier than any model predicted.

Kalen is not a soldier or a commander. He is a systems technician with an instinctive grasp of orbital mechanics and mathematics, a gift inherited from his late mother, a renowned astrophysicist whose unfinished work still shadows his life. His constant companion is Draxin, a cybernetically enhanced dog-part guardian, part analytical engine-whose tactical assessments are delivered with dry wit, biting sarcasm, and an unsettling talent for pointing out the obvious flaws in human decision-making.

Together, they are drawn into a mystery buried beneath layers of classified physics and institutional denial. With an unanticipated first contact that may-or may not-be able to save their star system, and a greedy, aggressive mining freighter arriving at the worst possible moment, Kalen is out of time. Whatever happens next will reshape the system forever.

Perihelion Drift is a sharp, character-driven science fiction novel blending hard science, quiet tension, and dark humor-where intelligence is a survival trait, loyalty comes with commentary, and even gravity can turn against you.
