A Rogue Satellite. A Buried Conspiracy. A Pilot Pulled Back Into the Fire.

When an unidentified satellite drifts into a forbidden orbit, the first reaction inside Schriever Command is confusion. The second is fear. The object is not registered, not launched by any known nation, and not behaving like debris. Then it begins transmitting on a dead Cold War frequency—one that has been silent for decades. Analysts scramble. Generals are awakened in the middle of the night. And deep within America’s black-budget archives, a forbidden file surfaces. The signature matches a man officially listed as dead: Colonel Nathan Vance.

To the Pentagon, this is impossible. To those who served with him, it is terrifying.

Jack Burgess never imagined he would be dragged back into service. Once one of the Air Force’s most gifted test pilots, he walked away from the uniform after a classified tragedy shattered his confidence and cost him everything he loved. But the moment Vance’s digital fingerprint returns from orbit, Jack is forced to confront a past he has spent years trying to outrun. The government gives him a choice: ignore the threat and watch the world slide toward catastrophe… or climb into the cockpit of the only aircraft capable of reaching the satellite before it strikes.

Skyvault—a sleek, experimental spaceplane buried beneath decades of secrecy—was designed for one mission only: reach what no aircraft can reach, and stop what no missile can intercept. But the program was shut down for a reason. And the more Jack learns about its final flight, the more he realizes that Skyvault is not just a machine. It is a ghost of every lie the government ever buried.

As Jack launches into the thin edge of space, he and his fractured crew uncover a terrifying truth: the satellite is not simply repositioning. It is hunting. With silent thrusters and surgical precision, it maneuvers into an orbital kill zone capable of crippling the United States in minutes. Its weapons are dormant—for now. Its programming is unknown. Its purpose, unthinkable. And behind it all lurks a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite history and erase anyone who gets too close.

With political enemies maneuvering on the ground, a rogue machine stalking above, and the specter of Colonel Vance haunting every decision he makes, Jack must confront the one enemy he never expected—the truth about why Skyvault was built, why it was shut down, and why he was chosen to fly it again. Every answer pulls him deeper into a web of betrayal that stretches from abandoned desert hangars to the marble corridors of Washington, D.C., where the wrong revelation could ignite a global crisis.

From the burning silence of space to the chaos of covert operations on Earth, Operation Skyvault delivers adrenaline, mystery, and heart at full throttle. This is a story of redemption earned the hard way, of courage rising under impossible pressure, and of a man forced to decide whether saving the world is worth losing himself all over again.
