The Meridian Initiative
by Robert Boldin
Dr. Elias Tharros has spent his life holding the line between medicine and failure. When Spiral Atrophy claims another child, he signs a twenty-five-year Venture Bond to the CSV Meridian, a deep-space research vessel built to find genetic cures light-years from Earth.
Aboard the Meridian, the Tharros family joins the Splice Horizon Initiative: a mission to teach human tissue how to heal itself. But when the experiments begin to blur the boundary between adaptation and mutation, Elias must decide how much of himself—and his family—he’s willing to splice into the work.
A story of duty, loss, and the cost of discovery, The Meridian Initiative begins the journey that will define humanity’s reach for regeneration.
