What if your only skill is not dying? Welcome to the frontier barge where courage is mandatory, the hull is rusting, and the company AI delivers body counts with a cowboy drawl. Pure survival satire.
Sparks tends a reactor everyone can hear failing and no one will name. She worked out what Wilbur was the first time she saw him flinch at exactly the right moment.

The Amber Belt was sold as the last honest frontier. What it actually is, up close, is a stretch of tired rock being taken apart for its minerals with the brisk thoroughness of a man eating a chicken.

Handbook on dying gracefully? He failed by refusing. Hired for a rusting barge where AI drawls fatality reports and the captain calls collapse 'spirit.' Plaques for the brave. He's betting on cowardice.
