The Last Echo: Whispering Dark - Book I
salishe__era12374
What if the end of Earth...was just the beginning?
In the year 2473, Earth is a fractured memory-scarred by centuries of war and buried beneath the ruins of its own ambition. Humanity now survives in towering underground arcologies, ruled by silent AI and dimmed by the absence of stars.
Amara Wren, a dismissed xenolinguist haunted by dreams in languages never spoken, discovers something no one believed possible: a signal. Clear. Repeating. Not from Earth.
Chosen for a mission aboard the Odysseus II, a state-of-the-art deep space vessel, Amara joins a team of specialists on a journey to Gliese 667Cc-a distant exoplanet pulsing with the same mysterious rhythm. But the deeper they travel into the void, the more the signal changes...and so does Amara.
