One false transmission could ignite another interstellar war.

The Cold War between the Anglo Commonwealth and the Aurigan Directorate has remained cold for twelve uneasy years-but only because both sides understand the terrible cost of another conflict.

Now the balance is about to shift.

The Commonwealth's revolutionary Aegis Fleet Coordination Network promises to transform modern naval warfare, allowing entire battle groups to fight as a single coordinated force. Before the system can be deployed, however, its security protocols are compromised, and Commander Robert Harlan is arrested for treason.

Only one person believes he is innocent.

Technical illustrator Eleanor Graham begins her own quiet investigation, uncovering hidden messages concealed inside ordinary shipping manifests and engineering drawings. At the same time, Army Intelligence officer Major Paul Drexler follows a separate trail of military sabotage that appears unrelated-until both investigations converge upon an invisible espionage network operating throughout Commonwealth space.

The enemy's objective is not to steal the technology.

It is far more dangerous.

If confidence in the Aegis Network can be destroyed, the Commonwealth's fleet modernization will collapse, shifting the balance of power toward the Aurigan Directorate without firing a single shot.

From orbital freight terminals and diplomatic receptions to the vast industrial labyrinth of Cygnus Arsenal itself, ordinary citizens, intelligence officers, and naval personnel race to prevent a catastrophe that history must never record.

Inspired by classic espionage thrillers, Shadows Over Cygnus Arsenal combines suspense, mystery, patriotism, and scientific realism in an exciting Cold War adventure set among the stars.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

  • Classic espionage fiction
  • Golden Age spy thrillers
  • Military science fiction
  • Space opera with realistic strategy
