Four thousand conscripts. A floating city gone dark. Forty decks of alien nightmares.

Felix Valda — Titan Zero — survived the frozen mines, the acid burns, and the queen. His reward? A death sentence running through his veins and orders to clear Sagan Stratopolis deck by deck, room by room, starting from the bottom.

The Hanbiri got here first. And they've been breeding.

Not the surface crawlers from Titan. These are winged nightmares that dive from ceilings in zero gravity, attack from every direction at once, and adapt their tactics between engagements. Kill one wave, and the next wave learns how you did it. Somewhere in the dark decks below, a queen is building something worse — hybrids gestating in zero-G cocoons that twitch with something horribly close to human movement.

Felix's squad pushes upward through failing gravity and acid-slicked corridors armed with Arc-Throwers — prototype lightning guns with an eleven percent chance of cooking the user instead of the target. His squad: Remo, dual-wielding weapons that glow hot enough to melt skin, cracking jokes between kills because silence means he's scared. Chen, rewiring faulty gear mid-firefight with lungs that are getting worse every deck. Ghost, dropping targets from impossible angles while keeping a secret that could tear the squad apart.

Fifteen thousand civilians are trapped in the upper decks. The station is falling out of the sky. Someone welded the airlocks shut from the inside. And Captain Washington — the man with his finger on every collar — has made it clear: Felix's people are cheaper than ammunition.

Every deck costs them something. Every room leaves a scar that doesn't heal. And when the station finally starts to fall, the only thing holding them together is the man whose name they scratched into their armor.

Gritty military sci-fi with permanent consequences and zero plot armor. If Conscript Zero punched you in the gut, Orbital Zero takes the gloves off. Continue the fight — read FREE with Kindle Unlimited.
