Black Arrow: The Long War Book 1: From the Grim Shadows Universe

By R. C. Rucker

BLACK ARROW: THE LONG WAR - BOOK ONE

In the year 2175, humanity wages a silent war it cannot admit exists.
Mega-corporations rule the Solar System. Cults whisper in the shadows. Black Monoliths bleed horrors into reality. Forces gather to enslave and devour mankind-and only one force stands between order and annihilation: Black Arrow.

Operating from a hidden asteroid fortress, Black Arrow's agents are ghosts in the machine: assassins, soldiers, hackers, and operatives forged in secret projects the world was never meant to see. They do not exist. They are the hand that erases threats before humanity ever learns they were there.

But the war is changing.
Anomalies grow stronger. Corporations gamble with forbidden power. Old enemies stir after decades of silence. Containment Black Sites are falling. And for the operatives of Black Arrow, every mission is a choice between survival and damnation.

Cold. Relentless. Invisible.
This is not a story of heroes.
This is the story of the Long War.

Perfect for fans of SCP Foundation, La Femme Nikita, Aliens, Blade Runner, and Lovecraftian horror, Black Arrow: The Long War begins a brutal new saga of espionage, cyberpunk warfare, and cosmic dread.

The least thing you can lose is your soul.
Welcome to the Long War.
