Signal Drift: Chapter 24
“He didn’t scream when the staples bit into his skin.” Under the red glow of a headlamp, Cronauer staples his wounds and discovers “The Mule”—a strategic off-road trailer that could save Viroqua, provided he can survive the high-speed run back to the ridge.
Signal Drift: Chapter 23

Signal Drift: Chapter 22
“Going kinetic!” Cronauer roared. With a 600-pound BMW GS as his projectile and an AR-15 snapped from its scabbard, he dives into the chaos of the Coon Valley creamery to protect the only assets the “auditors” haven’t yet bled dry.
Signal Drift: Chapter 21
“We were wrong about the EMP, Cronauer. It wasn’t just a stray burst.” Through a crackling Yaesu handheld, Dave reveals the architect behind the “Dark Sky” burst—and why the Driftless valleys were left intact to serve a new, predatory kingdom.
