The Silence is Louder Than the War.

For twenty years, the Terran Alliance fought a simple war against the "Spacer" colonists of Galatea. The propaganda was easy: Spacers aren't human. They are biological machines bonded to a hive-mind chorus they call "The Verse." They have no souls, no individuality, and they must be destroyed.

The standing order was absolute: No Prisoners.

Until Lieutenant Lucian Aris broke the rule. He didn't bring back a corpse; he brought back Commander Gordon Monihan—a legend among his people—alive.

THE SPACER (The Galatean Saga)

By Jasmine P. Antwoine

Now trapped in a Terran interrogation cell, Monihan has been stripped of the neural connection to his people. Plunged into a deafening, solitary silence for the first time in his life, he faces a new kind of warfare.

He is no longer a soldier; he is a specimen. Dr. Hayden, a cold xenopsychologist, is determined to dissect Monihan—mentally and physically if necessary—to prove once and for all that Spacers are just hardware waiting to be broken.

Monihan must endure the silence, resist the torture, and hold onto his sanity in a system designed to erase him. In a war built on lies, the most dangerous weapon of all is the truth hidden inside that cell.

Perfect for fans of military sci-fi that delves deep into the psychological toll of conflict. If you enjoyed the moral complexity of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game, the gritty factional politics of James S. A. Corey's The Expanse, or the existential questions of identity in Martha Wells' The Murderbot Diaries, step into the interrogation room with The Spacer.
