In the Orion Nebula, death is written in the stars.

Jre, an alien outcast, joins the nebula whaling ship Jupiter's Ghost—a vessel haunted by loss and hunted by something far worse. Whispers speak of the Great Blue, a monstrous whale that shatters steel and devours entire ships. In a crew bound by desperation and old grudges, trust is scarce and survival is a thin hope.

As Jupiter's Ghost sails deeper into Orion Nebula, the line between hunter and hunted fades, and Jre must decide how much of himself he's willing to sacrifice for glory—and for revenge.

Not all who sail into the nebula will return. Some dreams are meant to be swallowed whole.

About the Author

Award-winning author and screenwriter David Gwinn grew up in rural Ohio, where his sense of adventure and imagination were sparked. His country boy upbringing and military experience fuel the stories he writes, from high-stakes thrillers to intergalactic warfare, crafting worlds where one feels like it is man against nature.
With over 15 years of experience spanning action, sci-fi, fantasy, and thriller genres, David has built a reputation for powerful storytelling and sharp dialogue. His works include major studio features to indie gems.
David holds a Master Screenwriting Certificate and a Professional Screenwriting Certificate, as well as an MBA from the University of Texas and a B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology from the University of Dayton.
When he's not building new worlds or punching up scripts, he's probably somewhere with a notebook in hand, chasing the next wild idea with the loving support of his family.
