The Story
They were declared dead three days after they stole the ship.
Jake Callahan's squad were never supposed to find anything on Kepler-442b. They were supposed to map a ruin, file a report, and go back to being the most expendable soldiers in the galaxy.
Instead, they found something that changed everything.
Now they're fugitives in a galaxy that doesn't know what to do with them — and they're carrying a secret that could reshape the balance of power between civilizations that have been playing this game for sixty thousand years.

About the Author
T.V. Haugen writes military science fiction that explores first contact, moral dilemmas, and the cost of command. Drawing on a fascination with frontier narratives and the ethics of exploration, his work asks what happens when the rules no longer apply and every decision carries the weight of civilizations.
The Vagrant Suns is his debut series, published through Munin Publishing.
