New Warsaw Gambit (The Lightning War)

When Polonia Prime's security chief Anna Kowalska uncovers a sophisticated infiltration attempt at the quantum research institute, she steps into an invisible war that threatens everything her colony has built. As multiple interstellar powers converge to steal revolutionary quantum AI technology, familiar enemies lurk in the shadows.

The Anglo-Saxon Coalition grows desperate to maintain its computational dominance, while the Neo-Russian Empire's unexpected alliance offers both opportunity and risk. But most disturbing is the Caliphate's uncharacteristic silence—suggesting a far greater threat gathering beyond the system's edge.

As orbital battles erupt and shadowy operatives target civilian infrastructure, Anna races to unravel a web of false flags and diplomatic deception. With every security protocol compromised and familiar allies revealing hidden agendas, the technological independence that transformed Polonia Prime from a modest colony to a formidable power hangs in the balance.

Set between Shadow of the Storm and Wrath of the Storm, this pulse-pounding novella plunges readers into the heart of New Warsaw's vibrant culture while revealing the high-stakes espionage and political maneuvering that will reshape the Hyades Cluster forever.

In the Hyades Cluster, today's technological edge becomes tomorrow's battlefield advantage.
