Echoes of the Plague Moon by Mark Voss

ECHOES OF THE PLAGUE MOON

A sardonic sci-fi horror with viral cults, memory glitches, and a dangerously poetic ship.

THE PAST HAS TEETH. AND IT'S LEARNED HOW TO BITE IN ZERO-G.

A DEAD COLONY. A LOST MEMORY. A VERY BAD MOON.

All Captain Rask wanted was a place to hide and maybe patch the hull. Instead, the Meridian docks at a forgotten moon with no records, no exits… and absolutely no chill.
Outpost Ceta-9 was supposed to be abandoned. It's not. It's infected.

The crew find themselves trapped inside a viral nightmare where the locals worship a techno-organic god, memories rewrite themselves, and the ship’s voice assistant has started reciting poetry. As hallucinations spread and loyalties fray, Rask uncovers a disturbing truth: he’s been here before. At least, someone with his face has.

To escape, the crew must outwit a religious AI, out-run their own thoughts, and somehow avoid being baptised in nanite slime.

Because the moon remembers. And it’s feeling evangelical.
