Plague Bound thrusts readers into the heart of a tense, interstellar rescue mission gone awry. Lieutenant Reena Blackford and her bunkmate, Medical Science Officer Jacinta Tryne, serve aboard the ageing USS Kokoda, a Starfleet frigate dispatched to aid a stranded survey team on a hostile planet. As the crew battles mysterious cybernetic enemies and uncovers a sinister plot involving the galaxy’s largest philanthropic organisation, secrets threaten to tear them apart—from Jacinta’s hidden Trill symbiont to the true nature of the Novos Foundation’s research.
With Starfleet officers fighting for survival, deadly neurolytic toxins spreading, and a conspiracy that could devastate entire sectors, Plague Bound is a gripping blend of space opera, intrigue, and personal sacrifice. Will Reena and Jacinta’s friendship—and the Federation itself—survive the ordeal, or will the plague of chaos consume them all?
