Constellation Pegasus

Embark on a journey through wonder
Deep within the Pegasus Constellation is a rogue planet known to none of its neighbors. A silent and solitary giant, Okada's mass and electromagnetic field are greater than those of any other planet in its quadrant of the galaxy. For millennia, Okada's authorities have used the planet's powerful electromagnetic field to teleport their intelligence agents to other worlds. Known as oscillators, these day trippers have one purpose: to collect as much sensory and observational data as possible without raising suspicion among the native populations.
Genetically engineered beings of binary gender, these bipedal, humanoid oscillators are highly sensitive to electromagnetic energy. Known to break down at the molecular level by 100,000 axial rotations of their planet, oscillators are decommissioned at the earliest sign of instability. This is to ensure they do not die on a foreign world, an event that would alert those worlds to Okada's long history of espionage.
Transit introduces Su'Real, a resilient oscillator facing decommissioning due to her advanced age. Her precarious fate takes an unexpected turn when a transit error catapults her to a remote and harsh planet. Stranded and isolated, Su'Real encounters a primitive society governed by sinister and unseen forces. Amidst the desolation, she finds an unlikely ally in Jökull, a native who becomes entwined in her struggle against the oppressive monitors that control their lives.
In the tradition of China Miéville's "Perdido Street Station" and Jeff VanderMeer's "Annihilation," Transit is a gripping weird science fiction adventure that delves into themes of survival, rebellion, and the quest for freedom. With vivid world-building, complex characters, and a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this novella is the thrilling start of the Constellation Pegasus series, promising epic tales of courage and discovery in the boundless expanse of space.
