Book One of Seven
LOW WATER
THE HELION COMPACT
Hard-political science fiction. Ice, intent, and the crime already under the floor.
A Core technician who can hear a dying plant — and the Compact that taught him not to hear people.
On Hearth Station the meters stay green while the water dies. Cade Voss logs the truth, then edits the official language, because that is what useful men do. When a bypass he failed to name kills someone in the next compartment, exile arrives dressed as honor.
LOW WATER opens a seven-book cycle about discipline, scarce heat, and the crime that was taught as virtue.
