Behind every Commonwealth achievement lies a secret the public was never meant to see.

From a stellar-plasma weapon that could end a war in a single strike to a device that lets its operators glimpse four minutes into the future, the Commonwealth's black projects represent the sharpest edge of human ingenuity - and the most tempting target for anyone determined to steal, corrupt, or destroy it.

The Invisible Front collects twelve stand-alone stories from across the Commonwealth's most closely guarded research programs. A physicist and a counter-intelligence officer race to catch a saboteur before a weapons trial goes catastrophically wrong. A married couple's decades of trust becomes the only defense against an alien infiltrator who can mimic anyone's voice. A graduate student must decide whether to report a recruitment attempt that could clear her family's debts - or risk everything to protect a technology that isn't hers alone to give away. And, in two considerably lighter interludes, a boastful vacuum-cleaner salesman and a hopeful office-equipment representative each stumble - quite by accident - into the middle of a live espionage operation, with results neither the Commonwealth nor the reader will see coming.

Spanning weapons research, faster-than-light propulsion, unbreakable cryptography, self-repairing battlefield armor, regenerative medicine, and a technology that reshapes moons, The Invisible Front is a story collection about precision under pressure, trust that holds when it matters most, and the ordinary people - scientists, soldiers, spies, and civilians alike - who quietly stand between a breakthrough and the world that would misuse it.

Twelve stories. One Commonwealth. An invisible front line that never stops moving.
