An immortal exile just wanted a quiet mapping mission.
Instead, a gravity storm hurls the warship Sol’s Crown across galaxies—and into the final days of the Omega Dominion, stone-skinned giants who have fought the stars for a million years and are now choosing extinction over surrender.
To the Metegas, defeat is just another word for detonation.
Captain William Potts and his crew must survive a war with no victors—only escalating costs. When the last fifty-seven Omegas kneel and take their own lives rather than let humanity inherit their shame, Sol’s Crown is left with an alien super-intelligence capable of bringing them home in months… or rewriting them forever.
In the silence between dying stars, trust is the deadliest weapon of all.
A standalone military sci-fi novella for fans of Hugh Howey’s Wool, the bleak beauty of Arrival, and the hard choices of The Expanse.
