The Dark Halo Cycle is a sweeping collection of interconnected science fiction short stories set within a shared, expansive future where humanity’s reach stretches from Earth’s orbit to the icy edges of the solar system. In this intricate universe, space stations orbit dying planets, corporate secrets fester in low-gravity corridors, and unknowable forces stir in the shadows between the stars.
Through disparate voices and settings—an embattled commander on a haunted research vessel, a detective chasing an impossible murder on Olympus Station, and engineers uncovering disturbing anomalies on distant outposts—each story contributes a piece to a larger, unfolding mystery. As characters grapple with identity, loyalty, and truth, subtle threads begin to weave together: unexplained phenomena, duplicated lives, and whispered protocols hint at a deeper, hidden structure guiding—or unraveling—humanity's destiny.
Though each tale stands on its own, together they form a mosaic of creeping dread and awe, ultimately revealing that the greatest threats may not come from beyond, but from within.
