Expected 1 Dec 27FROM THE WRITER OF "JUDGES - THE PATRIOTS" AND "FROSTFELD - THE MOURNING SON" COMES THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THE GREAT SPACE OPERA EPIC!
A year after Captain Solomon and the crew of the Yaa Asantewaa survived a mission that should have killed them, the consequences finally catch up.
Something ancient has been disturbed at the edges of human space. It is not a weapon built by any known civilization, but a hunger—cold, adaptive, and terrifyingly intelligent. Entire systems go silent. Colonies are stripped to the bone. Stations are left drifting, shattered reminders that humanity is not alone, and never was in control.
The Galactic Confederation responds the only way it knows how: with fleets, politics, and fear. Captain Solomon—celebrated hero of the United Spacing Navy and reluctant symbol of survival—is sent back into the dark, placed at the head of a hunter‑killer task force and ordered to stop a threat that doesn’t think like an enemy and doesn’t retreat.
As the chase sprawls across contested space and beyond charted routes, it becomes clear that the rules are changing. The predator is learning. Every world it consumes makes it faster, smarter, and harder to kill. And this time, the danger may not stop with humanity.
Because the most frightening possibility isn’t that the mouse might escape the trap.
It’s that it was never the mouse at all.
