Plumber's War
Description
In space, power doesn't come from weapons.
It comes from what keeps everything alive.
Johnny Alliata is not a soldier.
He's a plumber.
He works the systems no one thinks about-water, waste, pressure, flow-the infrastructure that keeps stations running and people breathing. When something breaks, Johnny fixes it.
But some failures aren't accidents.
When a routine job exposes inconsistencies that shouldn't exist, Johnny starts seeing patterns others miss. Systems behaving too clean. Logs that don't add up. Repairs that solve the problem on paper-but not in reality.
Someone is using infrastructure as a weapon.
What begins as troubleshooting turns into a hunt through the hidden layers of a space-based economy where supply lines determine survival and control is exercised through systems no one sees.
As pressure builds between rival factions and quiet manipulations escalate into something far more dangerous, Johnny is pulled into a conflict that isn't fought with fleets-but with access, timing, and control of the flow.
And once you see the system, you can't ignore it.
Blending hard science fiction with political intrigue and blue-collar realism, The Plumber's War is a grounded, high-tension story about the people who keep civilization running-and what happens when those systems are turned against us.
