Atomic Station

di Frank Belknap Long (Autore)

Scott Miller, 2024

When humanity feared its own discoveries might destroy the world, it built a distant orbital sanctuary where unimaginable energies could be harnessed far from Earth. That sanctuary was meant to be a promise of survival, a place where courage and discipline would safeguard the future. But when a pioneering voyager returns from the depths of space, he finds silence where there should be welcome and shadows where there should be light. Inside the isolated station, time has moved differently, and the legacy of forbidden power has reshaped every living thing. Survivors cling to fragments of knowledge, strange new beings wander the corridors, and a long-dead commander’s warning waits to be heard. As danger closes in, one man must confront the consequences of humanity’s greatest gamble and decide whether mercy or destruction offers the only path forward. Atomic Station is a tense, haunting tale of responsibility, sacrifice, and love discovered at the edge of catastrophe. It explores what happens when progress outruns wisdom and asks whether redemption is possible after a century of unintended change. With mounting dread and sudden tenderness, the story races toward a choice that will echo far beyond the cold silence of space. Frank Belknap Long was a master of speculative suspense who blended cosmic wonder with deeply human stakes. His fiction often placed ordinary people before extraordinary dilemmas, forcing them to weigh compassion against survival. In this unforgettable story, he imagines a future shaped not by conquest of the stars, but by the moral cost of getting there.
