When the orbital mirror ring shatters, the sky begins to fall in glass. Sunlight burns entire towns, lethal dust fills the air, and a vast atmospheric front descends toward the surface, bringing crushing pressure, darkness, and death.
Across the salt flats, a former freight dispatcher leads more than five hundred refugees toward a coastal evacuation port. Their aging ore tractors burn rendered animal fat, their engines consume precious drinking water, and every breath risks filling their lungs with razor-sharp glass. With the deadly front descending faster than expected, their only chance is a shorter route through ravines controlled by raiders who steal water from passing machines.
As fuel dwindles and the convoy begins to break apart, the dispatcher must rely on a blind navigator who can hear danger in the sky and a chained prisoner who predicted the catastrophe. Every decision costs precious time. Every mistake adds another name to the growing list of the dead.
An increasingly distorted radio signal promises evacuation at the coast. But the last ship may already be gone, and even reaching the sea may offer no escape from the falling sky.

Two winters ago, something escaped from the laboratory at a secret army research station deep in the northern pines. The scientists vanished the same night. Officially, they are away on fieldwork, and the army now fills the station with punished men.
Every time the truck stops, whoever is standing nearest its back doors begins to slow. Words drag. Faces sag. Then they fall flat and sink into the asphalt, and they keep sinking.
For twenty-two years, an aging captain has fished the rings of a sea that drains endlessly into a vast hole past the horizon, where the catch grows richer the closer a boat dares to go. Each time he comes up short, the cannery that owns his trawler rivets another iron plate to her bow, and the newest one now sits at the waterline. One more short season will cost him his boat.
For two decades he has torn apart dead frontier colonies, and each one died of something he could dig up: a bad well, a burst dam, a hillside that came down in the dark. Every one except the farm town where half the town slid sideways across flat ground overnight and stopped as neatly as a train at a platform.
For eight years, a sapper sergeant has walked down into fresh bomb craters at first light and signed them closed. On the siege world of Bracken, six-ton spikes dropped from orbit cave in the tunnels of a burrowing enemy, and his signature certifies the ground has fallen. Every crater he signs is a piece of the war that is over.
