Somebody's Listening

A dead mother's voice crackles across the shortwave bands twenty years after the solar flare that ended civilization—and Tess Ryland would cross a warlord's territory to find out how. Traveling with the Wireless Caravan, a mule-drawn convoy that rebuilds communication networks across the shattered Mountain West, Tess has spent two decades burying her grief beneath copper wire and crystal receivers. But when the broadcast carries a warning of a second flare, the mission becomes bigger than one woman's ghosts. To save every fragile settlement they've helped rebuild, the caravan must find the transmitter, face a tyrant who weaponizes silence, and broadcast the truth before the sun speaks again.
