The Modronovich Incident

Written by R.L. Dean

Narrated by Charlene Fielding

There are inheritances people want. Then there are those legacies no one wishes to bear ...

The Modronovich, a cargo ship testing a prototype Newtonian drive, loses contact on its shakedown cruise, overdue and far off course, and then never heard from again.

Two-hundred and fifty years later, Penelope Middleton walks into Spaulding Recovery Services with a copy of a garbled transmission recorded by her grandfather, a communications technician serving aboard Capella Station during the Modronovich's voyage. Haunted by childhood memories of him as a paranoid, broken man that spent the last century of his life in depression, and the enigmatic partial transmission, she hires Spaulding's pilot and wreck diver, Beatrice, to unravel the mystery of the Modronovich and answer the questions surrounding her grandfather's breakdown.

Chronicled in Bea's diary it is the story of a cover-up decades in the making. What she finds leads to the disturbing details that caused two generations of PTSD and depression, the divorce of Penelope's parents, and the truth about what happened to the ship and her crew.
