A short story-They thought they were bringing home a ghost ship. Instead, they brought extinction. When the cargo vessel CS Nostromo reappears after vanishing for twenty-three years, the crew of the rescue ship Searcher is sent to investigate. The freighter is silent. Empty. Pristine. No distress signal, no damage-no crew. But something is aboard. Buried among salvaged debris is an alien artifact-smooth, seamless, and pulsing with unknowable purpose.
As Searcher begins the return journey to Earth, strange symptoms spread among the crew: hunger, aggression, transformation. One by one, they vanish... or change. With Earth growing ever closer, Captain Donovan must make an impossible choice: reveal the horror they've unleashed-or let the planet inherit a mutagenic nightmare that won't strike for generations. A chilling space opera of isolation, infection, and planetary-scale consequences-Alien Cargo will stay with you long after the last flame dies.
