ORION was formed to protect the world. Neither may survive the night.
A siege. A conspiracy. A team tearing itself apart.
When ORION, Earth's orbiting crisis aversion organization, deploys to break the siege and rescue hostages, they uncover something far worse than terrorism: a secret that reaches into the stars and threatens everything they were built to protect.
Decades after a cosmic refugee's arrival gave rise to an entire generation of superpowered beings, ORION stands as humanity's premier crisis aversion organization. But when religious extremists seize the Western Hemisphere's most advanced research center, team leader Cynder discovers the terrorists have ties to his own family. His ambitious second-in-command, Strident, fights to hold the team together while questioning whether she should be leading it. And Rapid, the youngest member, is desperate to prove herself as the mission demands more than she's ever faced.
As enemies close in from every direction and the United Nations moves to destroy ORION's orbital headquarters, the team must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to survive. And in the darkness of space, something looms… with Earth now square in its sights.
For readers of V.E. Schwab's Vicious and George R.R. Martin's Wild Cards, and fans of Watchmen, the X-Men, and Mass Effect.
ORION: Heavenfall is book 1 of the ORION series, a 513-page cinematic sci-fi epic with a large ensemble cast, superpowered action, political intrigue, and a universe that rewards the reader who pays attention.
