THE WAR JUST GOT PERSONAL. Danny Reyes survived recruitment. He survived training. But nothing prepared him for his first real mission - escorting a diplomatic convoy through contested space, where "diplomatic" turns out to be a very loose term. When the convoy is ambushed by an enemy using tech that shouldn't exist for another century, Danny discovers the war isn't just about territory. It's about a signal - the same one that recruited him - and someone on the station has been listening to it a lot longer than they've admitted. Trust is about to become the most dangerous weapon in the galaxy.

Daniel Knox writes cinematic science fiction exploring humanity's first encounters with alien civilizations, hidden galactic conflicts, and the mysteries waiting beyond the stars. His stories combine fast paced space adventure, unforgettable characters, and epic visions of the future where ordinary people are forced to confront extraordinary realities.
