Wreck Off Triton: A Fortune Worth Dying For

Some wrecks are left behind for a reason. Far beyond the busy spacelanes, a ruined ship circles Triton, carrying the silent weight of a terrible decision and a fortune worth killing for. Two men travel toward it with very different reasons for making the journey, each believing he understands the risks, and each blind to the one danger that matters most. In the emptiness of space, fear, guilt, and greed collide, and every choice tightens the grip of consequences that cannot be escaped.

Wreck Off Triton is a tense, character-driven story where space itself becomes a moral proving ground. Alfred Coppel strips away heroics and focuses instead on flawed people pushed to their limits. The story moves with quiet menace, letting suspense build through calculation, regret, and the unspoken weight of past actions. This is science fiction that understands how isolation sharpens human nature, and how the vacuum shows no mercy when mistakes finally demand payment.

Alfred Coppel was known for bringing emotional realism and psychological depth to speculative fiction. His stories often place ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, then let their choices define the outcome. In Wreck Off Triton, Coppel delivers a powerful meditation on responsibility and consequence, wrapped in a lean, gripping space drama that lingers long after the final moment.
