Orbiting What Remains

It was supposed to be a three-month internship.

It was supposed to be the best time of her life.

In the year 2048, college student Skye Calvert is ecstatic when she wins the opportunity to complete an internship aboard the International Space Hotel, the world's first space venue open to the public. With it comes the opportunity to meet other interns, party, and build a stellar resume. But she feels it won't be easy: being surrounded by some of the most brilliant and ambitious interns and clientele the country has to offer, Skye, a communications intern, feels small in comparison.
But when widespread nuclear devastation ravages the surface of Earth, Skye and her friends face a conundrum of epic proportions: with much of the world destroyed, everyone on board the hotel is now stranded in space. Facing dwindling food reserves, a crushed spirit on board, and a depopulation agenda on board led by a desperate CEO, Skye and her friends have their work cut out. Skye's first step: be taken seriously. The second step: save herself and protect the future of humanity. Skye might have what it takes, but there are problems lurking around every corner.
