Silent Line

di J. D. Rourke (Autore)

Latchgate, 2026

Five weeks after the warning order, the war comes to the ground Kade Vasco is actually standing on. The Thresher host makes moonfall on Ostren itself, the garrison world holding the Ironline's last jump-point, nine thousand refugees crammed into Camp Volk, and the loudest relay node left on the front humming away above all of it. Brigadier Hoyt, promoted onto the very ground his own buried endorsements helped endanger, means to fight the siege with the lattice lit and the network wide open, because that is the only kind of war he knows how to fight. Kade's squad proves in blood what the corridor's intercepts have implied since the Trestle fell: the relay network is not just drawing the enemy in. It is carrying the host's own command traffic. Silence is not retreat. It is a knife. When Hoyt's lit-road counteroffensive walks into an ambush at the Kiln Cut exactly where the intercepts said it would, and Captain Kestrel is relieved and confined for refusing to feed the survivors back into the line, the choice left standing is the one nobody above Kade's pay grade wants to make on the record: go dark, or go under. One platoon, wire-fired charges, and a way in through the drainage channels where Kade's war first started, aimed at a hardened hub buried deep in host-held ground. Silent Line is the third book in Ironline, a grounded, cost-first military SF novel of the peak of a siege that reaches every home Kade has left, a blackout run through the tunnels under his own training ground, and an institution finally forced to answer for what it buried, paid for in the names of the people who don't walk back out.
