The Iron Meridian
By Angus M. Wyre
For three centuries, humanity has survived aboard the Meridian-a colossal orbital habitat built after Earth was declared uninhabitable. Generations have lived and died beneath artificial skies, governed by a Ministry that controls every breath of air, every drop of water, and every fragment of truth.
Senior Auditor Aleph Vance has spent his life serving that system.
When a long-silent surface transmitter suddenly sends an impossible signal, Aleph is assigned to erase it before anyone discovers its contents. But the transmission contains evidence of something the Ministry claims cannot exist: a seven-year-old girl living on Earth.
Breathing.
Thriving.
Alive beneath an open sky.
As the government prepares to obliterate the source of the signal, Aleph uncovers a secret buried for decades-a secret powerful enough to destroy the foundations of the Meridian itself. Hunted by the very regime he once served, he must race against time to reach the surface and uncover the truth before it is erased forever.
In a world built on carefully managed lies, one impossible child may hold the key to humanity's future.
The Iron Meridian is a gripping science-fiction thriller about power, survival, and the price of truth, perfect for readers who enjoy epic dystopian worlds, political intrigue, and high-stakes adventure.
