Shadow Courier: Ghost Network (The Lightning War)

Disgraced ex-intelligence operative Tom Nowicki and his misfit crew aboard the temperamental courier Fantom scrape a living on the fringes of the Hyades Cluster – taking the dangerous jobs no one else dares.

Their latest “simple” salvage run for experimental tech uncovers a mysterious alien cylinder and a deadly conspiracy stretching across factions. Now hunted by a relentless stealth ship and a shadowy organization determined to bury the truth , Tom and his crew must navigate a treacherous web of espionage where trust is a forgotten luxury and allies are as dangerous as enemies.

Can these outcasts expose a conspiracy that could ignite the entire cluster before they’re silenced forever? If you love the found family and high-stakes gambits of Firefly mixed with the cold war paranoia of a universe on the brink, you’ll love Shadow Courier: Ghost Network.
