Fractured Duty
Pulled from the cockpit and reassigned far from the front lines, a seasoned pilot learns that leaving combat doesn’t mean leaving the war behind.
As loyalties fracture and institutional pressure mounts, duty becomes a moving target—and survival demands more than skill alone. In a military that values obedience over truth, every decision carries a cost, and the line between following orders and protecting the people who matter begins to blur.
Fractured Duty is a character-driven military science fiction story about trust under pressure, the weight of command, and the cost of doing the right thing.
