The Wrong Side is Book 2 of Spent Light, a hard science fiction survival series set inside the larger Fracture Cosmology universe.

Mercer reads the names at frame thirty-one, then takes the ship to the only door the wronged ever opened. The Endurance leaves the lit country behind and folds deeper into the dark, carrying its dead, its truth, and its answer.

The ISV Endurance survived the far pocket, but survival did not mean home.

Dry of power, short of supplies, and stranded beyond the known routes, the crew finds the only lights still burning in the dark — and discovers that the war they joined may not be the war they thought they were fighting.

Lost.
Wrong side.
No way home.
