Saving billions might cost her everything.
When Dr. Karin Amani's rescue mission crashes on a hostile exoplanet, survival becomes the least of her problems.
Her crew is missing. The research base has gone dark. And something in the planet's ecosystem is spreading. Fast.
As the ship's doctor, Karin's purpose has always been clear: save lives. But on Tyche, that mission becomes a nightmare. Each discovery brings another body, dragging her deeper into trauma. The weight of what's unfolding threatens to pull her under. Something isn't just contaminating people, it's spreading in ways that could reach billions.
Karin is breaking. Depression claws at her mind, following her with every step. Her only companion is Navigator, the ship's AI. Logical, precise, and utterly incapable of understanding grief. The rational part of her knows she's sinking.
She can't save everyone who's already lost. And accepting that may be the hardest part.
But giving up means billions die.
And she’s the one who can stop this.
Remission is hard science fiction that doesn't look away from the cost of survival. It's a story about choosing to move forward when you're falling apart. Because sometimes your purpose has to be bigger than your pain.
For readers who love scientifically grounded sci-fi with psychological depth and protagonists who endure, not just overcome.
