Morgue Among The Stars - K.C. Allen

Onboard the USS Redemptor, a morgue ship drifting through the cold vacuum of space, Captain George Erickson and his crew are haunted by regret, isolation, and the ghosts of their pasts. When a mysterious, adaptive bacteria from Callisto begins to infect the crew, paranoia and grief threaten to tear them apart. As android Debrah evolves beyond her programming-carrying echoes of lost love and human anguish-the boundaries between machine and person blur, and the fate of the ship hangs in the balance. With a storm approaching on Ganymede, a deadly mutiny brewing, and the infection spreading, the Redemptor becomes a crucible for survival, sacrifice, and the enduring question: what does it mean to be human when hope is lost among the stars?
