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?

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.

A Masterclass in Space Warfare and Strategy
The way the author describes tactics, battle logistics, and the desperate measures taken to defend Demeter is simply brilliant. The tension builds up as Ryder and his crew scramble to hold their ground against overwhelming odds. The sense of urgency and realism in the military aspects of the story make this an exceptional read for fans of hard science fiction and military strategy. Every chapter left me on the edge of my seat!
