From the universe of the Citadel

Before Sal was the proprietor of the best restaurant on G deck, he hauled billions of tons of equipment and supplies around the great big nothing. Here is the story of how The Big Tow went from space tug to neighborhood diner. Welcome to the world of the Citadel, an ore processing facility carved into an asteroid at the edge of the known universe.

This short story is a 15-minute read. Enjoy!

A farmgirl in space.

Fulfilling her mom’s dying wish, Maisy goes to live with her dad on the Citadel, a fancy name for an ore processing plant built into the side of an asteroid. There she discovers the terrible truth…

Space is boring.

No alien princesses, no cool cyborgs. Just a greedy corporation that controls everything from the food you eat to the air you breathe.

Welcome to the Citadel.

Just as Maisy starts to settle into station life, the coalition government decides policing the edges of space is just too hard, so they bail. Her dad and the rest of the marines on the Citadel now report directly to the Corporation. The safety inspectors are on the first ship back to Earth.

Those who complain start to disappear.

When their parents go missing and the station goes on lockdown, Maisy and the other “orphans” of the Citadel go on the run. The temperature in the lower levels of the station is rising and communications are blocked. Suddenly…

Life is a little too interesting.

They are the Orphans of the Citadel.

Maisy and her friends have been expelled from the Citadel, a corporate-owned station at the edge of known space. Now they’re limping their way toward a newly discovered planet aboard the Golden Shoe, a “colony ship” that is nothing more than a badly damaged freighter held together with duct tape and good intentions.  

They aren’t alone.

When they encounter a derelict research vessel, it’s an opportunity to salvage some much-needed supplies. But Maisy soon discovers the ship isn’t as abandoned as it appears. 

Friend or Foe?

Nothing is quite as it appears, and their ragtag group once again finds themselves at a crossroads. The road ahead is rough. Can they face it together?
