Dead Reckoning is Book 1 of Spent Light, a hard science fiction survival series set inside the larger Fracture Cosmology universe.

Captain Maya Sloane builds a course from the only thing the far pocket will give her: the Endurance’s own history. No chart. No network. No fixed stars she can trust.

The crew commits to the fold by dead reckoning — carrying the dead, the living, the truth they found, and one final revelation deeper into the dark.

The ISV Endurance is lost beyond the known routes after a catastrophic fold failure.

No map.
No rescue.
No easy way home.

Brandt sits the board with steady hands. The frightened ensign who boarded the Endurance is gone, replaced by someone who belongs to the ship and the people holding it together.

The crew has changed. The ship has changed. In the dark, survival has become identity.

The ISV Endurance is lost beyond the known routes after a catastrophic fold failure.

No map.
No rescue.
No easy way home.
