The Fractured Orbit (Paperback)

Paperback. Humanity discovers Echo, a mysterious artifact capable of amplifying human attention and choice. What begins as a promising tool for prediction and coordination soon reveals a dangerous fragility: Echo mirrors human focus without morality. Where communities engage ethically, it stabilizes outcomes; where they neglect or manipulate, distortions and contagions spread rapidly.Envoy Kaelen, alongside allies like Lira, Aya, and Arel, leads efforts to prevent collapse. They create the Web of Witness, a system of rotations, public readings, and transparent oversight, designed to ensure Echo reflects collective responsibility instead of chaos. Across the asteroid Belt, orbital stations, and coastal towns, they confront corruption, apathy, and shadow brokers exploiting vulnerabilities. This item is printed on demand.
