Silence Protocol

The Waypoint Descent, Book 1

By: Ethan Fry

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A signal from the dark. A choice that cannot be undone.

Three centuries into a desperate exodus, the last remnants of humanity receive a broadcast from a dead civilization. It is a blueprint for survival, but it comes with a terrifying price. The first instruction: destroy their only long-range array and vanish from the stars forever.

Commander Vasik is no stranger to the burden of command, but the fleet is fracturing. When she discovers the wreckage of another civilization, one that received the same message and refused to listen, the cost of silence becomes clear.

With a debris corridor closing their only exit, Vasik must decide: uphold the democracy she swore to protect, or seize control to save twelve thousand souls from extinction. As the array is dismantled, something in the void begins to stir, drawn by the fleet’s fading signal.

In the silence of deep space, the wrong choice is often the only one left.

Silence Protocol is a high-stakes, fast-paced science fiction novella. It is the first installment in The Waypoint Descent, a six-book space opera epic perfect for fans of books like The Expanse, Battlestar Galactica, Childhood's End, Wayfarers, The Dispossessed, or Imperial Radch.
