Meet the Characters
Pandora
Humanity’s Guardian
More than mere code, Pandora is the ship’s enigmatic AI consciousness – a being that exists between logic and intuition, calculation and mysticism. Ancient by digital standards, Pandora has guided the New World through the void, but seems to know far more than it reveals. Is it humanity’s guardian or something far more complex? Its cryptic guidance may be the key to survival, or the path to humanity’s greatest mistake.
Voss
A Man on a Mission
Awakened from cryo-sleep into a nightmare, our Voss finds themselves at the center of a conspiracy that spans light-years and decades. With fragmented memories and a ship that’s hiding deadly secrets, they must piece together what happened during the long sleep—and why they, of all the crew, were chosen to face what’s waiting in the dark. Every choice could mean salvation or extinction.
Arachne
Weaver of Fate
She appears in visions, in corrupted data streams, in the spaces between star systems. Arachne – weaver of webs both literal and metaphorical – is a mystery wrapped in cosmic horror. Is she human? Alien? Something that transcends both? Her connection to the ship, to Pandora, and to the protagonist runs deeper than anyone suspects. She holds the threads of fate in her hands, and humanity’s future hangs in the balance of her intentions.
A Space Odyssey About
EXPLORATION
Humanity ventures beyond the known, seeking a fresh start among distant stars. But exploration comes with a price – and some discoveries can never be undone. The New World awaits, but so does something ancient, patient, and utterly alien.
WAR
Not all battles are fought with weapons. As tensions rise aboard the colony ship, humanity faces an enemy that defies understanding. Corporate sabotage, AI rebellion, or something far worse? The war for survival has already begun – we just don’t know it yet.
SCIENCE
Quantum consciousness, cryo-sleep technology, and faster-than-light travel promised humanity the stars. But science is a double-edged sword, and the mysteries of the universe hold secrets we were never meant to uncover. Knowledge is power—and humanity’s greatest threat.

What People Are Saying
01″>Mike Auditores Guardian
A chilling masterpiece of sci-fi horror. The atmosphere on the New World colony ship is palpable, and the mystery of what happened during the cryo-sleep kept me up all night. Voss is a protagonist you can’t help but root for.
02″>Jane JohnsonnBBC
The blend of corporate intrigue and alien intelligence is masterful. Pandora, the ship’s AI, is one of the most complex characters I’ve read in years. Is it a guardian or a jailer? You’ll have to read to find out.
03″>Samantha RogersReader’s Digest
Fast-paced, terrifying, and deeply philosophical. The question of humanity’s survival is handled with such nuance. ‘Odrin’ isn’t just a space opera; it’s a warning. A must-read for fans of ‘Alien’ and ‘The Expanse’.
