Silence: Transfer Window

Three prisoners. One convoy. No safe handoff.
Sergeant Arlen Sevran has transported dangerous people before. This transfer bothers him before the first shot is fired.
Niko Varen is young. Tessa Or is a retired transcription clerk. Jalen Harvek is the only prisoner whose file looks remotely like someone who belongs under heavy armed transport. Three people who do not belong together.
Then the convoy is ambushed. At first, the explanation is obvious: Resistance extraction. Then the attackers begin using UFC channels.
Orders arrive from the wrong places. Recovery teams know details they should not know. And every attempt to deliver the prisoners somewhere safe moves Arlen and Officer Kess Damar deeper into a chain of authority that no longer behaves like authority at all.
Their status changes. Their choices narrow. The freight district becomes a battlefield. And Annex Four-the place that should finally end the transfer-may be the most dangerous destination yet.
TRANSFER WINDOW is a hard-driving science fiction conspiracy thriller packed with convoy combat, industrial pursuit, institutional betrayal, desperate escapes, and one terrifying question: what happens when following procedure becomes the fastest way to get everyone killed?
