Grey Signal

Author : Eliot Vance

She has flown the same war for three years and never missed. Then the war starts lying to her.

Captain Mara Quinn is the most decorated drone operator at a windowless station in the Nevada desert — a pilot who kills from eleven thousand miles away and sleeps like it never happened. The enemy is real. The medal is real. The clean record is real. Until a single wrong detail in the feed — a child’s bicycle that should not exist — pulls a thread that unravels everything she believes she has been fighting for.

Because the enemy is a simulation. The war is a construct, rendered in real time to keep its operators proud and asleep. And every strike Mara has ever flown has landed somewhere she was never shown: home. On American soil. On the people of her own hometown.

Now the only person who can expose the machine is the hand that built its reputation — and the only ally she has left is the estranged brother she abandoned twenty years ago, a small-town reporter who has been quietly counting the dead.

A relentless near-future military science fiction thriller about truth, duty, surveillance, and the terrible cost of waking up, GREY SIGNAL is a psychological conspiracy thriller for readers who like their technothrillers morally merciless and impossible to put down.

How far would you reach to stop a weapon — when the weapon is you?
