BREAKDOWN: Exit Earth Novella—Paperback

A Shell World is about to collapse!

In this science fiction adventure story, the first Shell World ever build was placed around the Pallas asteroid. It’s old, poorly maintained, and struggling to stay viable.

The former management team for Pallas has evacuated the world, leaving only a recently promoted underling in charge. The project is worse than explained during the bidding process and some subcontractors have already bowed out, leaving George Flanner and his family with untrained crews in many areas.

The Flannery family drama continues as they leave their oldest son and structural engineer onboard the Starlight and won’t see him for over a year. Forced to hire a new graduate, they’re pitched into a dangerous and life-threatening reconstruction of the Pallas Shell World.

Challenged with a crumbling infrastructure, poorly trained subcontractors, and uninformed management, can they salvage enough skill and knowledge to rebuild the Pallas Shell World without causing harm to its inhabitants or its ecosystem?
