Pressure Lines: Plumbing Space Book 2
The most dangerous weapon in space isn't a battleship. It's the man who controls the water.
The war for Earth has entered a new phase.
The first alien assault failed. Now the real enemy begins pulling strings from the shadows.
Johnny Alliata is officially just a plumber.
Unofficially, he's become one of Earth's most valuable intelligence assets.
As governments prepare for open war against the Thalyrian Empire, Johnny discovers that someone is quietly sabotaging humanity's greatest hope for survival. Warships disappear. Supplies vanish. Trusted leaders hide dangerous secrets. Every answer uncovers another leak.
To stop an invasion, Johnny and the Space Plumbers' Union must wage a different kind of war.
Not with fleets.
With logistics.
With deception.
With money, water, information, and the hidden systems every civilization depends upon.
Because every empire has pressure lines.
And every pressure line can be broken.
As Earth's most powerful warship races toward completion, time is running out. Hidden hands are opening valves that could doom humanity before the first decisive battle is ever fought.
Johnny doesn't need to command a fleet.
He only needs to find the leak before the entire system explodes.
Pressure Lines is the second novel in the Plumbing Space series, combining the hard-science military realism of John Scalzi, the investigative tension of classic noir, and the gritty engineering mindset that asks one simple question:
What if the most important man in an interstellar war was the plumber?
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Military science fiction
- Space opera with believable technology
- Conspiracy thrillers
- Noir detectives in impossible worlds
- Smart heroes who win through ingenuity instead of superpowers
Every system leaks. Every leak leaves a trail. Every trail leads to war.
