Echoes from the Abyss

The Ocean Keeps Its Secrets. But Marcus Hale Found Where They Are Buried. Eight years ago, Navy pilot Marcus Hale led a flight of four aircraft over the Bahama Banks. He was the only one to return. Now, washed up on Devil's Isle and flying tourists in a battered Cessna Caravan, Marcus is a man haunted by more than just guilt. His plane, The Phantom, carries a fused shard of "exotic matter" in its fuselage—a piece of the anomaly that swallowed his crew. And in the dead of night, through the static of his radio, he hears the voice of his fiancée, Elena, calling him back. When Dr. Lila Thorne, a brilliant oceanographer with her own tragic ties to the Triangle, hires Marcus for a routine survey of the Bimini Road, they uncover something impossible: an ancient, crystalline pyramid rising from the seafloor. It is not a ruin. It is a machine. And it is waking up. As the pyramid cycles to life, warping physics and twisting time, Marcus realizes his team wasn't killed—they were trapped. But he isn't the only one listening to the echoes. Ruthless corporate raiders armed with stolen tech are closing in, desperate to seize the power of the rift for themselves. With the New Moon approaching and the dimensional window closing, Marcus has 72 hours to decipher the alien technology, outgun a mercenary fleet, and fly The Phantom into the heart of the anomaly. The inscriptions warn that the rift demands a sacrifice: Time for time, life for passage. Marcus is ready to pay the price. But will saving the woman he loves burn reality to ash? ** Top Gun meets Interstellar in this high-octane sci-fi thriller about love, loss, and the terrifying things that wait between the seconds.**
