One obsolete missile. One impossible loss. One lesson that will change the war. The year is 2239. War has erupted between the Commonwealth of Anglo Worlds and the authoritarian Aurigan Dominion. While politicians promise quick victories, the men and women of the Anglo Space Navy know that every patrol beyond the frontier carries enormous risk. Escort cruiser HMS Bristol appears more than capable of surviving anything the Dominion can throw at her.
Then an ageing Aurigan strike fighter launches an equally obsolete anti-ship missile.
The missile strikes.
Its warhead never detonates.
Hours later, HMS Bristol is lost. As journalists proclaim the arrival of a terrifying Aurigan super-weapon, Admiralty investigators uncover a far more disturbing truth. Fragmented communications, flawed assumptions, peacetime doctrine, and a relentless shipboard fire combined to destroy one of the Commonwealth's finest warships. Told through combat action, official reports, news broadcasts, government deliberations, damage-control operations, and the perspectives of both Commonwealth and Aurigan personnel, Silent Impact is a gripping military science-fiction thriller about leadership, courage, and the unforgiving realities of modern warfare. Sometimes history turns not on an explosion-
-but on the fire that follows. Fans of David Weber, Jack Campbell, Tom Clancy, and classic Royal Navy fiction will enjoy this thoughtful, character-driven novel of space combat and military investigation.
