The Wrong Side
The war was a lie. The ship is still trapped on the wrong side of everything.
The Endurance has survived a dying fold only to emerge deeper inside the far no network, no charts, and no route home.
Her engines are spent. Her magazines are empty. And one hundred and sixty-nine people now depend on the civilisation they were sent to trust.
Then Dr Naomi Hale uncovers evidence that overturns everything the crew believes about the war.
The discovery could expose the truth behind the conflict—but it could also turn the only civilisation capable of repairing the Endurance against them.
Captain Maya Sloane must keep the alliance intact long enough to repair and resupply, while searching for proof beneath the watchful eyes of Maric the warm, persuasive envoy who knows the ship is hiding something.
But the truth is spreading through the crew.
Command is beginning to fracture.
And every answer carries a cost the Endurance may not survive.
When the war changes sides, who gets to decide which truth the ship can bear?
The Wrong Side is Book 2 of Spent Light—a hard-science-fiction command adventure about damaged ships, impossible leadership, first-contact tension, and a crew fighting its way home through a dying universe.
