IMI Book 2 - The TrailThe signal is gone.The crew of the Magnus Frons Prime drifts through Crusader's shadow-silent, hunted, and half-broken.When fragments of a familiar voice echo across the network, they discover Hurston Dynamics is reviving what the IMI once tried to bury.To survive, they'll have to move through the system unseen-rewriting identities, sabotaging machines, and trusting an AI that may no longer be entirely human.Every transmission carries risk.Every silence carries ghosts.The Trail continues the industrial-noir saga of the Independent Mercantile Initiative, where loyalty is currency, memory is a weapon, and the line between the living and the data that remembers them grows dangerously thin.
