The Deep Sky

The Deep Sky is a gripping science fiction novel that explores survival, identity, and the complexities of human relationships in the vastness of space. The story follows Asuka, a half-Japanese, half-American astronaut chosen to join The Phoenix, a generation ship on a mission to colonize a distant planet after Earth's ecological collapse.

Disaster strikes when a fatal explosion cripples the ship, killing key crew members and threatening the mission’s survival. As the only witness to the incident, Asuka becomes entangled in a tense investigation while grappling with her own inner struggles—her mixed heritage, feelings of isolation, and doubts about her role on the mission.

As paranoia and suspicion spread among the remaining crew, Asuka must confront both external and internal conflicts. The Deep Sky masterfully weaves psychological tension with themes of belonging, identity, and humanity’s enduring hope in the face of an uncertain future.
