At the beginning of a civilization-ending war, new doctor Stacy Eros flees back to the only life she’s ever known, the interstellar warship where she grew up, and where her father is still captain. For eight years, as war rages across the galaxy, and the government she and her crewmates swore to serve disintegrates, Stacy finds her purpose as the ship’s doctor, and hope in the thought that the war will one day end.
Now, in one day, Stacy sees hundreds of crewmates die on her operating tables.
Now, one last battle leaves ship and crew stranded in deep space.
Now, anyone who could come to their rescue is already gone.
All Stacy has left are her father and her faith – strength borrowed from the religion and rituals of her dying civilization. And in the cold nothingness of the void, even that strength is fading.
Until a last, desperate plan occurs to Stacy, which may just save them yet.
But the plan comes at a terrible price, one the crew may not be willing to pay.
Suspenseful, imaginative, and moving, Blackout is the opening novella of the scifi dystopian Star Fall series. Join Stacy’s journey through darkness into the hope of a better world.
