Silence: The Dead Receiver

A dead receiver should not answer. R-91 does. That is the first problem. The second is the recovery vessel already coming for it. Tovin Narek knows the difference between damaged equipment and impossible equipment. The receiver they have found should have nothing left to transmit, nothing left to preserve, and nothing important enough to make another ship close the distance this quickly. But the signal exists. The recovery clock keeps shrinking. And someone wants R-91 before Tovin and the others can understand what they have found. What begins as an investigation becomes a pursuit fought through failing systems, hard vacuum, zero gravity, damaged equipment, and a race toward an archive that may explain why a dead receiver refused to stay silent. Lia Narek and the rest of the crew have no army coming. No miraculous rescue. Only what they can verify, what they can reach, and the seconds remaining before another ship reaches them. THE DEAD RECEIVER is a high-tension deep-space mystery packed with EVA danger, pursuit, technological suspense, hidden records, and the creeping realization that sometimes the most dangerous signal is the one someone failed to erase.
