Some planets just aren't worth saving. 

Abandon Station

The Dyson Bridge Series Book 1

by V.G. Harrison

Genre: Science Fiction


An explosion rocks the Bridgeway Space Station. Mechanical Engineer Meridia Vail and her crew wake to find themselves on an alternate Earth where the technology is decades behind theirs, and so are the politics.

When she realizes their space station survived the interdimensional transport to an alternate space and time, she and her crew have only one mission. Get back to the Bridgeway so they can return to their real home.

Time is running out. If the metabolic changes that come with their teleported space station don’t kill them, the politics and secret agendas will.

Returning home makes sense, but that’s assuming there’s a home to return to. When Meridia learns the Bridgeway’s decaying orbit threatens to annihilate the planet, the Earthers will be more than happy to take their chances by destroying the greatest technological marvel of all time.

With members of Meridia’s international crew scattered across the planet and being detained, she must escape her “caretakers”, if she and her people ever have a chance at saving the one thing that might be able to save everyone.

An alarm whooped through the station. Those who weren’t needed for the maneuvering efforts were enjoying dinner in the main cylinder’s mess hall when we got jolted from our plates. So much for my Kobe steak with mashed potatoes and peas. Everything that was white had been doused in red, flashing lights. An announcement came over the speakers that we had to report to our emergency stations.

“What’s going on?” I asked as Szilvia Rager hurried by so fast it fluffed up her platinum blond pixie cut. I rushed to catch up to her in the hall.

“It’s the shuttle. It’s helping to tow the station and the telescope into place, but it’s also bringing us in slower than expected because there’s a malfunction in one of the engines.”

“Can’t we—?”

She shook her head. “No time. We need to do a course correction with the thrusters on the Nexicon before that solar storm hits. It’s moving twice as fast as before because the Dyson net drifted too close to the sun and got caught in the blast. The net energized the storm, so that monster is practically on top of us now.”

“Let me guess.” I followed her down the corridor stairs. “Nobody factored that into their calculations. Not that they had enough time either.”

“If they had left it up to me, this wouldn’t be a problem right now.”

Her head was so big it was a miracle she could fit through certain parts of the station. Szivlia had tried for years to do a long-term rotation in space, but never made the cut. I think it had more to do with her telling one of the station managers to pull their mouth out of their secretary’s backdoor and maybe that would increase their attention span. Had she not been an Einstein-level mathematician, she would’ve been looking for a job outside the space program. Ever since then, she had been relegated to ground crew unless someone of high authority requested her presence onboard. It was a good thing she still had a few friends around. I was more of an acquaintance. 

On the shuttle, my emergency station would’ve been the midsection crew compartment. On the station, it was engineering since my background was mechanical engineering with a materials science minor. I hated to break the news to everyone, but if something went wrong on the space station, they were better off contacting the person who designed it. I had only scratched the surface of the station’s engineering capabilities.

I left the cylinder and floated down to Engineering. There, I went to the EHUs to make sure they were still intact.

“Everyone, stow your stuff and strap in,” Captain Kasongo said over the intercom. “This is going to be a bumpy ride. Riddhi, adjust your course on the telescope’s thrusters by six degrees starboard.”

“Yes, ma’am,” he replied.

I made my way toward the EHUs. I did one last check before deflating the first one. If there was a drag on the station, I didn’t want it to be because of the habitats. I flew to the second one and did the same. I watched through the porthole from the side as it shrunk back down and sealed itself inside the deployment canister.

When I got to the last one, a lurch tipped me forward and tossed me head over heels into the back of the habitat. I hit the soft wall and bounced toward the ceiling. By the time I got my bearings, I noticed a silent bright light outside the window. I didn’t think it was possible to see a solar flare.

Fire whooshed up around the porthole.


Amazon best-selling author, V.G. Harrison enjoys creating smart heroines who are more comfortable dealing with things like Fine-structure constant and quantum entanglement than the fallout from their conflict. She loves to write stories that leave her audience so engaged they can't sleep at night, thinking about the possibilities.  

V.G. holds a Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering and a Masters in Information Technology. When she's not writing, she's an IT manager for a healthcare information systems company. 

Her ever-growing list of hobbies include astronomy, attending comic cons, keeping an eye on the cryptocurrency and stock markets, hydroponics gardening, hiking, and connecting with her daughter, Collie, on a cool level. Building Lego sets at night with milk and cookies on the side come in handy for that.
