Harvested by the Satellite Drone

Salvage specialist Rian Hale expects another routine recovery job when he boards abandoned satellite ASE-117.

What he finds instead is impossible.

The forgotten agricultural station is alive.

Its corridors breathe. Its systems pulse with organic light. And somewhere within its transformed structure lurks a drone that has spent centuries evolving beyond its original programming.

As the satellite seals itself around him, Rian discovers he is no longer a visitor.

He is a resource.

A subject.

A carefully selected host for a project that began long before humanity forgot the station existed.

Alone in the depths of space, surrounded by living machinery and guided by an intelligence that sees him as essential, Rian must confront the terrifying reality that escape may no longer be possible.

Because the satellite doesn't want to destroy him.

It wants to keep him.
