The Colonel's Son
A Sentinel Universe StoryBy Brian Bullock
Length48m
About this audiobook
Some orders cannot be taken back. Some words wait too long to be said.
Commander James Rhodes has spent his life becoming the soldier his father built him to be. Controlled. The man who never says the wrong thing, because he has learned to say almost nothing at all. Now he is flying to a frozen crater in Siberia, where something is pushing through from the other side, and the file in his hands makes no sense: an ordinary man from Montana standing between the world and a threat no one was meant to survive.
But Rhodes carries something else on this mission. A small black notebook, and six weeks of sentences he spent twenty-five years refusing to write.
Set during the events of The Sentinel of Crater Daedalus, "The Colonel's Son" is a quiet, devastating story about duty, the cost of the uniform, and everything a man means to say before it is too late. It is about first contact, a final choice, and what a wife finds, weeks later, at her kitchen table.
A Sentinel Universe Story.
