A simple courier. A broken route. A war that cannot afford the truth.
Lieutenant Tomas Veyr was never meant to be a hero.
He is a military courier stationed at Kheron Reach, an aging outpost on the edge of a region most pilots avoid-a fractured corridor of dead zones, wreck fields, distorted gravity, and unreliable signals.
Then Kheron Reach uncovers something that could change the war.
Confederation command channels have been compromised. Authentic orders are moving friendly forces away from the enemy's true line of advance. A massive attack is already underway, and the only proof is sealed inside a hardened evidence case.
Veyr is given one order:
Deliver it to Marshal Erys Vale. Trust no one else.
With the station under attack, Veyr launches in a failing courier skiff with damaged sensors, a worsening head injury, and no reliable communications. To reach Vale, he must cross a route where navigation systems lie, ghost signals hide real pursuers, and even friendly authorities may be carrying corrupted orders.
He is not flying to stop the disaster.
He is flying to make sure something survives it.
Dead Signal Run is a tense military science-fiction thriller about duty, sacrifice, institutional failure, and the quiet courage of the one person still carrying the truth when everyone else has gone silent.
