About This Book

The cold, metallic clang of the moon base echoes through silent corridors as the Colonel breathes in the sterile, recycled air. Far below, Earth teeters on the edge of war, and high above, a quiet man must face the heaviest choice of all—one that could change the fate of everyone. The weight of the world feels as vast as the endless stars outside the window.
