Echoes Beneath: A Project Enterprise Short Story

A routine mission turns into a planetary crisis.

Geologist Miles Walker travels to a remote world to inspect an old seismic sensor. He finds unexplained tremors, missing research, and Lira, an archaeologist searching for her missing father.

When a major quake reveals signs of an ancient alien presence, the danger escalates fast. Systems fail, sabotage surfaces, and something powerful begins to stir beneath the planet's crust. Lira's loyal and very opinionated space bird, T'Korrin, is the first to sense the threat.

Miles and Lira must combine science, courage, and trust to stop a disaster that could destroy more than one world. Falling for each other only raises the stakes.

Echoes Beneath is a science fiction romance adventure in the Project Enterprise universe, filled with alien secrets, high stakes danger, and heart.
