Daniel Bright was never destined for the quiet life. He’s a part-time adventurer, a full-time underachiever, and lately, the voices in his head–alien, relentless, and threaded with riddles–won’t let him rest easy. But the whispers are only a prelude.

​

Far beneath the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, something ancient stirs–a hidden artifact, its presence a tightly kept secret fueling a silent war among ruthless factions. Each believes Daniel is the unwitting key to unlocking its power, and that the countdown has already begun: a primordial clock, set to trigger disaster on a planetary scale.

​

As the world’s balance falters, Daniel’s gravest error is drawing his ex-girlfriend, Isabel Hutton, into the storm. Now, hunted by enemies they can’t name and chased across the Northern Hemisphere, Daniel and Isabel are forced to confront truths buried not just in the ocean’s depths, but in the fossil record of Earth’s own annihilated ages. With every revelation, the dangers multiply. The voices in Daniel’s mind grow louder–more urgent, more foreboding.

​

The clock is ticking. The boundaries between past and present are collapsing. And as Daniel and Isabel race to piece together the final clues, they’re forced to face a terrifying reality: humanity’s hold on Earth is more precarious–and more disposable–than anyone dared to imagine.
