The Litany of Vise

Lieutenant Olivia “Vise” Argenti serves in the Navy of Europa, a minor, neutral power orbiting Jupiter, caught between the remnants of Earth’s superpowers after World War III turned the planet into ash. While Mars and Venus flex fleets and send threats across the void, Europa clings to relevance with aging tech, fragile alliances, and patrol routes that rarely see action. But when a pirate strike leaves an outpost in flames and an entire mech squad dead, Olivia’s team is rearmed and deployed to the asteroid belt to track down the killers. What begins as a hunt through storms and shadows turns into something far stranger, and far more dangerous, than anyone expected. Haunted by loss, bound by duty, and driven by a quiet faith she barely admits to herself, Olivia finds that the line between sailor and survivor gets thinner with every mission. Especially when the enemy might not be entirely human. View Less
