About This Book

A wartime science‑fiction tale follows a naval officer returning from a brutal conflict with a mysterious alien foe while his pregnant wife waits at home, torn between social ritual and private fear. Intelligence teams subject a battered ship and its crew to exhaustive interrogation yet find no explanation for the enemy's tactics, and ruined decks, twisted armaments, and corpses convey the battle's human cost. The story contrasts intimate longing and anxiety with the Confederation's strategic losses, ending with the officer racing through wreckage and unanswered questions to reach his waiting partner.
