Perfect for you if...

You love hard sci-fi with real stakes: watching characters race against catastrophe rather than just talk about it.
You're drawn to stories about humanity's survival instinct, where personal missions (Jax's trip to The Oasis) collide with collective crisis.
You want a prequel that actually matters. This isn't filler. It sets the stage for a trilogy with genuinely stylish, atmospheric worldbuilding.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow-burn character studies. This novella prioritises action and tension over introspection.
You need optimistic endings. The praise mentions bleakness as a feature, not a bug.
You're new to sci-fi and want easy entry points. Smith assumes you're comfortable with noirish, layered narratives and dystopian stakes.

About this book

Earth is deteriorating, and those who have escaped look back with regret while hoping for a new beginning. When solar flares begin, Lance Corporal Edmonds is assigned to evacuate the smaller domes at greatest risk. Meanwhile, Jax attempts to make one final visit to The Oasis before it is destroyed by fire. This novella serves as a prequel to the Neon series, featuring intrigue, mystery, and action. It explores whether humanity's nature will overcome the forces of nature itself. Neon Zero introduces readers to the Neon series, which continues with three novels: Neon Sands, Plains of Ion, and Flames of Apathy, available in multiple formats including Kindle Unlimited.
