In a future where death is a financial transaction and memory is a corporate asset, survival comes with a price tag.
Michael Redding died on Europa Station and was brought back by GenesisCorp ? not as a miracle, but as an investment. Now burdened with an impossible debt, he is forced into dangerous salvage work, stripping derelict ships for a corporation that owns his body and his future.
When Michael uncovers a hidden, advanced ship tied to a missing pilot named Luna Vox, he is drawn into a mystery that goes far beyond corporate exploitation. The ship isn't just abandoned ? it's waiting. And buried within its systems is evidence of a larger contingency known as Stillwater, a protocol designed to respond to temporal anomalies and repeating patterns in time.
As hunters close in and the ship begins to recognize him as part of a recurring event, Michael must navigate a world where identity is negotiable, memory is weaponized, and the past refuses to stay buried.
Debt Among the Dead is a gritty cyberpunk noir thriller blending dark science fiction, dystopian survival, and emotional, character-driven storytelling. Perfect for fans of rain-soaked futures, corporate dystopias, and neo-noir science fiction, this novel explores what it costs to stay human when even your life is owned.
