The Quiet Orbit
When a long-abandoned relay station on the edge of inhabited space begins broadcasting messages in a dead military code, systems engineer Mara Venn is sent to find out why. What she uncovers is not a simple malfunction but a fragile network of hidden colonies, old loyalties, and a war that was never properly ended. The station may be the only thing keeping several worlds from being noticed by the powers that erased them.
