About this book
Cinderwake is a military station that should have stayed dead. Phoenix Blacksite starts with the salvage: air, heat, bunks, busted systems, and too many costs hitting at once. Fixing the base is the story.
Base-building LitRPG with salvage pressure, crew oaths, and the shift from survival to expansion. The ruin is hard enough—then everyone notices a weaponized station coming back online.
