About this listen
All is quiet, or is it? What looks to be a large PerSian invasion fleet is on the edge of Demeter space and the Saggitarian Armada that is supposed to defend Demeter leaves port. This leaves Ryder and his team in a struggle to find a way of defending Demeter with the scraps left behind by the armada. Meanwhile a secret lurks in the inner tunnels of Demeter that could either save or destroy the planet, and explain the attempts on the team's lives. Will the team be able to find the answers it needs and resources in time to save Demeter from complete Destruction?

Action, Mystery, and Strategy Combined
This book delivers a perfect balance of action-packed space battles, mysterious discoveries, and strategic problem-solving. Ryder’s creativity in assembling a defense with "scraps" is inspiring, and the lurking secret adds a layer of suspense. A thrilling continuation of the *Orion's Spur* series that doesn’t disappoint!

A Refreshing Take on Sci-Fi Conflict
Instead of flashy space fights, this book gives us a grounded look at desperation, teamwork, and survival. The absence of the main fleet raises the stakes, and Ryder's ingenuity shines. Fans of tactical sci-fi and mystery will enjoy this one.

Great Blend of Action and Mystery
I loved how the author balanced military tension with an unfolding mystery within Demeter’s tunnels. The suspense builds as Ryder tries to uncover the secret while scrambling for defenses. It's not just another space battle — it's a smart, layered story.
