The Enceladus Deception

On Saturn’s frozen moon Enceladus, where humanity’s fragile habitats cling to life beneath an engineered sky, appearances matter more than survival. Exotic pets signal status, dinner parties conceal rivalries, and marriages rot quietly behind polished glass. Graham, a weary technician, finds himself trapped in the suffocating orbit of his ambitious wife Cressida and her glittering social circle—where secrets are currency, betrayal simmers under polite conversation, and loyalty is more fragile than the thin atmosphere itself.

But beneath the hum of atmospheric processors and the polite chatter over synthetic wine, something darker stirs. A petty rivalry turns into a deadly game, and the thin veneer of civilisation threatens to peel away, revealing the raw, survivalist core of human nature.
