The Ark was one of humanity’s last lifeboats. Can they stop it from becoming their tomb?

Cal Harker and a small group of survivors wake from cryo-sleep to find their ship failing, its compartments sealed, and its authority system treating them like intruders. Keeping the air flowing becomes a full-time war, because every door cycle, every power drop, and every alarm could be the one that finally ends them.

Then they learn the truth.

Eight hundred years have passed. Earth is a ruin. The Ark crashed during a planetary sweep centuries ago, leaving it stranded on a world where crystal residue still poisons the wind.

And something is growing.

A bio-crystalline system is crawling across the hull and into the ship’s veins, learning the way they move, the places they hide, and the heat their bodies give off. The survivors call it Arkroot, but it is not a plant, and it is not mindless.

As panic spreads and trust starts to crack, Mara, the Ark’s systems apprentice, becomes the difference between survival and a silent death. She can make the ship obey. She can drag answers out of broken systems. She can also see patterns in the failures that don’t look accidental.

When the scientist they need most is found dead, the group fractures under the only question that matters: did the Ark kill him, or did someone else?

Because the force that reset Earth had a name once.

And it may still be watching.

A post-apocalyptic survival sci-fi thriller with high tension and high stakes. If you like Silo, Wool, Moon, or The Martian, you’ll love the pressure-cooker survival, creeping paranoia, and relentless problem-solving in The Waking Ark.
