Signal Collapse. Glitch in the Void - M J Stevens

Some spaces don't fight back. They don't need to.

Glitch has outrun systems, outwitted hunters, and bent the rules of structured space to his advantage. He knows how to survive things that react to him.

This doesn't react.

When his ship drifts into a region that simply allows - no resistance, no acknowledgment, no rules he can break - Glitch finds himself facing something he has no answer for: a presence so vast it doesn't register him as relevant. A fracture that doesn't threaten, it adjusts. And a silence from Byte that means the one intelligence he trusts most has gone somewhere he can't follow.

Signal Collapse is the third book in the Glitch series - a tense, philosophical sci-fi adventure about identity, scale, and what it costs to be one thing in a space that doesn't need you to be anything at all.
