Four cryostasis pods sit on Eryon Station's manifest like a mistake-unlabelled, unassigned, and impossible to see unless you know where to look.When Thalion Drayden orders a manual inspection, his crew expects a clerical error, a glitch, something explainable. Instead, they find a secret with a pulse... and a witness who has been awake in the dark for more than two decades.Eryon Station was meant to be a refuge: a hidden cradle of survival, rebuilt from wreckage and stubborn hope. But beyond its hull, the echoes of an old war still drift through space-unfinished, unresolved, and far more complicated than anyone alive remembers. Somewhere out there, lifeboats launched in desperation have crossed the void between galaxies on failing light-drives-carrying the last fragments of a civilisation that refused to die.And now those ships are about to arrive.The Raven-fast, fragile, and alone-must do the unthinkable: break the fleet's passage, strand it in silence, and hold the line at the edge of enemy space long enough for rescue to reach them. Because in this new galaxy, there are predators in the dark-an aggressive power that won't hesitate to wipe out an entire armada before it can even speak.But the greatest danger isn't only what waits outside.It's what the "Unassigned Four" know.What they've seen.And what waking them will set in motion.The Unassigned 4 is the next step in The Last Star Captain saga-more cinematic, more intense, and more emotionally immersive, while keeping the clear, character-led storytelling that makes the series so hard to put down. If you love beautiful sci-fi worlds, found-family loyalty, high-stakes survival, and mysteries that drag you forward page by page... this is your next late night.Because in the deep, even a whisper travels.And sometimes all that answers... is static.Perfect for fans of cinematic space opera, survival mysteries, and character-driven sci-fi adventure.
