The channel had been dead for thirty years. Then it transmitted a phrase he was never cleared to know — in his dead partner's voice.
Thirty years after The Quiet collapsed every connected system on the planet, Dex Carver runs a scavenger post in the ruins of Haven Falls and maintains the kind of silence that keeps people alive in the new order. Then a signal appears on a pre-Quiet military frequency — morse code, grid coordinates, and a seven-word phrase that requires clearance Dex has never had to decode. Dex is a scavenger, not intelligence. He recognizes the phrase anyway. Someone is transmitting things he should not know. And someone in his own sector has been watching him listen.
