Nebula: A Psychological Sci Fi Thriller - A Short Story: The Arcadia Series, #0

By Ian Fraser

AS FIVE HUNDRED COLONISTS SLEEP, TWO WATCH OVER THEM...
SOMEONE WANTS THEM ALL DEAD.

Alice was expecting a quiet month monitoring systems aboard the sleeper ship Nebula, as it passed through the vast expanse of the Oort Cloud. But as the ship's vital systems begin to cascade out of control, she realises that someone is working against her and trying to destroy the ship and all five hundred people aboard.

The next hours and days become a paranoid nightmare as she battles to stay alive. But who is it that is working against her?

This is a real nail-biter: a nerve-jangling whodunit that builds tension right up to the last page. Set in the same fictional universe as The Arcadia Series, this is a stand-alone story that explores just how bad bad can get on an interstellar voyage.
