Early draft
The Last Transit Archive
On a failing trade route at the edge of human space, an archive engineer discovers that the records preserving interstellar travel are being quietly rewritten. To stop a collapse that would strand entire worlds, she has to decide whether the truth is worth more than the fragile peace built on top of it. The book leans on character, atmosphere, and the awkward practicalities of keeping a civilisation stitched together.
