Hostile Intent

Hostile Intent

Book Four of The Inbetween Archives

Coming 2027

Ghost Command is back.
Unfortunately, so is Helios.

The War ended six years ago.

Humanity has spent the years since rewriting what happened.

The Confederation has turned fear into policy, propaganda into truth, and old enemies into convenient explanations for new problems.

Then a man walks into a press conference on Hestia Prime.

Forty-two seconds later, everything changes.

In flaming and devastating fashion.


The old rules no longer apply

Ghost Command has regrouped.
The Others are no longer what humanity believed them to be.
Kael has spent months trying to dismantle a religion built around his own face.
Shade knows something is coming.
Geist knows the Confederation is lying.

And somewhere beneath all of it, something ancient has started moving again.
This time, the threat is not hiding in the shadows.
It wants to be seen.


Helios has returned

Not Kael.
Not quite.
Something older.
Something powerful enough to turn myth into memory and memory into fire.
And if Ghost Command wants to survive what comes next, they may have to answer a question none of them are ready for:

What happens when the god you defeated decides he was never finished?


Expect

  • Ghost Command operating as a team again
  • Political conspiracy and propaganda
  • Ancient grudges
  • Dangerous alliances
  • Fire
  • So much fire

And underneath it all:

Something worse is coming.
