About this book:

In the far‑reaches of the asteroid belt, a lone scavenger ship picks up a signal that shouldn’t exist—a precise, prime‑number pulse humming on the hydrogen line, a beacon from a civilization that vanished millennia ago. When the *Aethelgard* follows the call into the deadly Scylla Fragments, it encounters an ancient, light‑swallowing vessel that unleashes a blast of pure energy, killing the crew and leaving engineer Elara Vance alone aboard a dead husk, haunted by a single thought echoing in her mind: *The Secret must be kept.*

With power gone, air thinning, and the alien ship lurking silently in the shadows, Elara must jury‑rig a transmitter from the wreckage, decode the impossible mathematics of the signal, and decide whether to expose a truth that could save humanity—or doom it. Every pulse of the alien beacon is a heartbeat drawing her deeper into a mystery that spans galaxies, where survival hinges on solving a puzzle older than Earth itself.

*The Last Starship's Secret* blends hard‑science tension with relentless suspense, delivering a pulse‑pounding odyssey through derelict hulls, cryptic glyphs, and the chilling realization that some secrets are guarded not by locks, but by the very fabric of the universe. If you crave a story where a single engineer’s ingenuity confronts an alien enigma that could rewrite humanity’s fate, this is the voyage you won’t want to miss.
