ORION: Heavenfall

di Corey A. Frazier (Autore)

Skyfire Press, 2026

ORION was formed to protect the world, but when an improbable siege becomes a conspiracy with ties to the stars, it may not survive the night…and neither may humanity's trust in them. Decades after an alien refugee's arrival gave rise to superpowered beings (parahumans), ORION—the Orbital Reconnaissance and Interceding Operations Nest—humanity's orbiting crisis response organization, faces its darkest hour as the world's protector. When religious extremists calling themselves "The Sworn" seize The Bastion, the Western Hemisphere's most advanced research center, ORION's elite tactical team deploys to break the siege and rescue the hostages. But the mission goes sideways—fast. Cynder, the team's smoldering leader, is haunted by his missing brother and discovers the terrorists have ties to his own family that threaten to unravel everything he believes about his brother's legacy and his own place in ORION. Strident, his lover and ambitious second-in-command, fights to hold the team together while suppressing her growing conviction that she should be leading it. And Rapid, the youngest member of the squad, is desperate to prove she belongs, even as the mission demands more than she's ever been tested for. As the siege unfolds, nothing is what it seems. The Sworn's attack is not random zealotry but a calculated move in a larger game. Behind the crisis, a vengeful shadow faction hunts for a top-secret ORION project—one connected to the catastrophic event that changed the world twenty years ago and deep ties to the very reason parahumans exist. The conspiracy reaches into the highest levels of power, and the team begins to realize the enemies inside The Bastion may be less dangerous than the ones already inside ORION. With enemies closing in from every direction, the United Nations poised to destroy ORION's orbital headquarters, and the team fracturing under the weight of ego, grief, and dark secrets, ORION's heroes must decide what they're willing to sacrifice to survive.
