2018. The International Space Station remains humanity's lonely outpost in the void. For rookie Canadian astronaut George Scorby, his first mission is the culmination of years of grueling preparation. But as the launch towers at Baikonur loom, the real weight hits: the astronaut family sacrifice required to leave Earth behind.
If you are a fan of grounded sci-fi realism like The Martian or the high-stakes NASA technical procedural feel of Apollo 13, Station Bound delivers an authentic, behind-the-scenes look at the rigors of modern spaceflight.
A choice that echoes across the stars.
George finds himself Station Bound-assigned to a six-month rotation in low Earth orbit that secures his career but comes with a devastating price: the loss of his seat on the first Artemis missions back to the Moon. While the world looks to the lunar surface, George must focus on the immediate reality of Canadarm2 robotics and the physical toll of the Long Goodbye.
Station Bound is a visceral Hard SF novella that explores the psychology of space travel and the silent intersection of science and religion in space. From the pressurized silence of the Neutral Buoyancy Lab to the isolated quarantine of the Russian Steppe, George navigates his roles as husband, father, and explorer.
The foundational prequel to the Artemis series.
Experience the technical precision and personal discipline required to lead the way into the next great age of exploration.
