Seven Minutes of Air

When Meridian-9's containment system seals without warning, Senior HSE Supervisor Corin Vasquez finds herself trapped inside a maintenance compartment with only minutes of breathable air remaining.

The platform's safety systems are functioning exactly as designed.

That's the problem.

As oxygen disappears second by second, Corin must rely on the procedures she spent years teaching others—while her colleagues race through communication failures, violent electromagnetic storms, and mechanical failures to reach her before time runs out.

Every decision has a cost.

Every mistake consumes precious air.

Every procedure was written for a single failure.

This emergency has several.

Blending realistic engineering, industrial safety, and relentless psychological tension, Seven Minutes of Air is a hard science fiction thriller where survival depends not on impossible technology, but on knowledge, discipline, and the courage to keep thinking when panic becomes the greatest enemy.

Perfect for readers who enjoy intelligent, realistic science fiction with authentic engineering, high-stakes suspense, and emotionally grounded characters.
