Conscious Minds - Escape (Book One)

In the cold, unforgiving vacuum of space, survival is a luxury. For Dr. Kim Ito and her daughter, Sakura, it's a desperate fight against an enemy that knows no mercy.

Zodiac Station, a beacon of interstellar innovation, has fallen. Amidst searing heat and crumbling steel, Kim must navigate a labyrinth of war-torn corridors, dodging rogue androids and uncovering a sinister conspiracy orchestrated by the enigmatic Black Sun. Her only mission: protect Sakura, no matter the cost.

But as the lines between human and machine blur, and a monstrous, unexpected ally emerges, Kim is forced to confront a shocking truth about herself and the terrifying lengths she'll go to save her child. With every step, the question looms: in a world where consciousness can be transferred and innocence is under siege, what truly defines life, and what sacrifices are too great?

Dive into Conscious Minds - Escape, a gripping sci-fi thriller where a mother's love is tested against the ultimate technological nightmare.

The single setting of a derelict scenario in space.

I liked the sci-fi aspect of this story. Even though it was pretty quick, I enjoyed that there was enough lore to understand what's been going on. Very well done!

Gripping and well read!

The story was gripping. Short form sci-fi perfection. The narration was brilliant. You can always tell when the narration is good when you get truly lost in the story!
