Commander Shaw’s exile ends with a boot on deck and a sidearm pointed at the command chair. No flags. No salutes. Just a half-dead crew and a gunship one leak away from silence.

The Virex is bleeding systems, discipline, and officers. Morale is fraying. Trust died two captains ago. But a ghost fleet shadows them now. Ships without callsigns. Weapons fired in silence. A hunter who never misses twice.
Shaw’s old enemy is alive. And he remembers everything.
To stop him, Shaw must rebuild a chain of command from fear and silence. Strip the names. Lock the drills. Cut the rot. And still move faster than a war he can't see.
This enemy doesn’t strike weak points. He builds them.
And he’s already inside.

For fans of The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, and Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet.
For readers who want grit over gimmicks.
