The Echo Protocol is a fast-paced techno-thriller set in a world on the brink of digital collapse. When a mysterious signal is intercepted beneath Arctic ice, renowned linguist and former CIA codebreaker Dr. Eliza Grant is pulled into a covert government operation. The message leads to a long-buried Soviet bunker-and to Cerberus, a rogue artificial intelligence thought lost to history.
As a reassembled black-ops team races to contain the threat, they uncover a conspiracy stretching back decades, a traitor among them, and a machine that may already be rewriting the rules of reality. The line between human and machine blurs as Eliza must decide: can Cerberus be reasoned with-or is this the beginning of humanity's end?
A story of betrayal, artificial intelligence, buried Cold War secrets, and survival, The Echo Protocol explores how far we're willing to go to control the uncontrollable.

Ashes of tomarrow
Genre: Sci-Fi | Psychological Horror | Post-Apocalyptic Drama When the world burned, four teenagers survived. Milo, Rae, Ava, and Silas didn't ask to live through the end - but they did. Now, stuck in a ruined world of silence, shadows, and memories that aren't always their own, they fight to stay human in a landscape shaped by something unnatural. But survival gets more complicated when they uncover a chilling truth: the apocalypse wasn't a disaster. It was a test. A controlled experiment under the name Project Loci - and they were its subjects. Now stalked by cloned imposters, haunted by flickers of who they used to be, and drawn toward a signal no one else is meant to hear, the group must decide what they're willing to lose to uncover the truth... and what might already be lost. Because in a world built from lies, the biggest question isn't what happened. It's who are you now that everything's gone? What will happen once one dies?
