The Dead Frontier - Benandonner Publishing Original

Out on the edge of human space, the stars have gone quiet.

Whole colonies vanish without a trace.
Ships drift back empty.
Signals die mid-sentence.

No one knows why.

So they send in the Retrievers.

Bounty hunters, scavengers, and truth-seekers paid to venture into the Dead Frontier-where maps end, laws break down, and something is watching.

The most infamous of them all is Silas Crane.

He doesn't ask questions.
He doesn't turn down contracts.
And he always comes back.

Until now.

Across twelve deadly missions-from ghost planets and living machines to cities buried beneath alien sands-Crane begins to uncover a pattern behind the silence.

It is not random.
It is not natural.
And it is not over.

Because something ancient is out there...
Something that erases civilisations when they become too visible.

Humanity has just made itself impossible to ignore.
