About this ebook
When the Soft Orbit accepts a multi-week contract at Harbor Lights, the work looks simple: deliver specialized components, offer systems support, and leave. The colony is careful, self-reliant, and not in the habit of depending on outsiders.
As a layered infrastructure problem draws the crew deeper into the life of the colony, each of them faces a different question of scale and home. Eli feels the pull of a wider community. Lina guards the boundaries that keep her intact. Mara is offered a place that could divide her attention. Rook discovers acceptance beyond the ship. Auntie watches the small family stretch and quietly holds the center.
Harbor Lights is a gentle, character-driven science fiction novel about cooperation without surrender, the courage to stay small on purpose, and the clarity that comes from testing a found family against the larger world.
Perfect for readers who love cozy sci-fi, found family, slow-burn belonging, and hopeful stories set on lived-in ships and independent colonies.
This is the third book in the Soft Orbit Collective series. The books are best enjoyed in order but each contains a complete emotional arc.
