Astro Quantum #4

Description

Docked at the orbiting fortress of Sura-Kaiser, the PEKUOD lies broken, its crew divided, and Akhaab’s obsession with the giant Pale Molok GOYAKLA, burning hotter than ever. While repairs drag on, tensions spread through the halls and bars of the orbital station: whispers of mutiny, the pull of old rivalries, and the hidden hand of Kobalt spies. For Ishmaeel, solace comes in the arms of Talya — but nightmares of the hunt return, dragging him back into the blood-soaked memory of their clash with Goyakla. A beast too cunning to be prey… and too dangerous to escape. Love, betrayal, and obsession collide as the line between trust and doom seems invisible.
