Akion Tiles Series · Book 1
CAN YOU ESCAPE A LIFE THAT HAS STOLEN YOUR FUTURE?
At twenty-three, Akion Tiles has spent the past seven years working as an alinum loader aboard the Uzhar space station. His status as a refugee has condemned him to a life without rights, with few opportunities and a future that seems to have been decided for him.
Every night, when he closes his eyes, he dreams of a life free from rigid schedules and the people who look down on him. He longs to own a ship, travel among the stars, and embark on countless adventures. Akion dreams of the impossible.
Or so he believed, until an unexpected offer arrives from the University of Mendran: the chance to become the pilot of an experimental spacecraft. For the first time, everything he has ever dreamed of seems within reach.
But fulfilling his dream won’t be as easy as he imagined.
Far from the safety of the station, Akion must face isolation, mechanical failures, and the dangers of space, where even the smallest mistake can prove fatal. With no one to turn to, he’ll have to rely on his ingenuity, overcome his fears, and discover just how far he can push himself to survive.
Because in space, no one is coming to save you. Improvise… or die.
