R.C. Nechamkin

Orion Brody runs a private investigation business on a moon-sized, civilization-carrying space ark. Like the rest of the citizens of the ark, Orion sinks further into his odd routines when somebody from his past returns with a case that throws him off his game and into a crazy conspiracy.

During a routine oil delivery to the capital planet, a massive starship manned by a skeleton crew mysteriously breaks down. Now the youngest, least experienced crew member, his captain, and his conspiracist of a crewmate seek survival and answers while trying to avoid the looming threats on the ship.
