About This Book

A small crew aboard an aging cruiser becomes ensnared in a drifting field of derelict vessels that behave like a sargasso sea. After a sudden collision disables instruments and vents air, they patch systems, ration supplies, and begin scrounging the wreckage for parts or a larger ship that could free them. The narrative follows their practical efforts to survive, the mounting strain on their relationship, and the eerie stillness of a graveyard of machines, touching on themes of isolation, technological decay, and human persistence in hostile environments.
