The Gilded Cage
Hard Science Fiction / Space Survival
Five crew. Finite air, water, food. Comms failing in stages: delay, static, then physics-grounded permanent silence. Earth darkens beneath the debris ring, visible through the cupola but unreachable. One of them takes the emergency return vehicle. He does not survive the descent.
Four remain. Then, weeks into the silence, a signal arrives. S-band. Text, not voice. A Chinese space station. Five crew. A laser system. A question.

About the author
Chad Kovac
Chad Kovac walked away from the modern world to build a life with his own hands — and occasionally duct tape. A homesteader, inventor, and self-declared druidiotic practitioner, he blends survival know-how with big ideas about consciousness, time, and whatever else keeps him up at night.
When he's not wrangling solar panels or confusing turkeys, he's writing books that make you question reality, laugh a little, and maybe start stockpiling beans.
