SCAR PROTOCOL: A Space Opera Adventure: 2

He survived the impossible. Now someone wants to know how.A claustrophobic space opera thriller of betrayal, conspiracy, and found family under pressure - three weeks after the crew of the Meridian Scar lived through something that should have killed them, Captain Ryan Upton takes a job that looks simple: extract one man from a station that doesn't officially exist.The pay is generous. The client knows too much. And the man they've been hired to save knows exactly who they are - and why.Jorin Vael was Tomas Reef's handler. The man who built the lie that put Tomas aboard Ryan's ship in the first place. He didn't go rogue from conscience. He went rogue from evidence - proof that the organization hunting them has been hollowed out from the inside by something older, more patient, and far more dangerous than information control.Now Ryan's crew is carrying a fugitive who knows their every fracture, a null report already coming apart at the seams, and three weeks of silence about to break wide open. The threat this time isn't cosmic. It's personal.Which means it's worse.
