ON MARS, THE BIGGEST THREAT ISN'T IN THE DUST. IT'S IN THE SILENCE. WHAT IF THE SIGNAL ISN'T JUST TRANSMITTING DATA, BUT REWRITING REALITY? Dr. Elias Halden knew the rules: never tamper with alien contact. Yet, when his brilliant partner, Leah, began to hear the EIGHTH SIGNAL—an impossible, non-human transmission—he injected her with an experimental serum, a desperate attempt to "tune her frequency". Now, Leah is gone. Not dead, not escaped, but ERASED from a shattered containment pod, leaving behind only the ghost of her last breath. Elias is trapped in the Martian base, covering up the catastrophic breach and his own deadly lie. As the red horizon bleeds into the black, he is forced to confront the terrifying truth: the Signal wasn't trying to talk to them—it was trying to REMEMBER them. And if Elias doesn't stop it, his reality—and his sanity—will dissolve into STATIC. The base is locked down, the investigation is closing in, and Elias is losing time. He races to contain the thing he released, only to discover the crisis isn't external—it's INTERNAL. Prepare for an unputdownable mind-bender where Elias must confront: THE MIRROR CODE: The chilling revelation that the Signal is a RECURSIVE MEMORY FIELD, echoing and fracturing reality itself. Every decision Elias makes creates multiple timelines. THE MISSING HOURS: The discovery of 14-hour blackouts, with evidence that someone—or something—is using the base's systems to communicate with him, blurring the line between his past and future. THE GHOST IN THE MACHINE: Leah is speaking through the station's comms and corrupted code, but is she a sentient AI, a time-travel anomaly, or the last fragments of the woman Elias betrayed? THE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE: To end the Signal and save what's left of the world, Elias must reach the central memory core and PURGE the archive, erasing every trace of Leah's consciousness and potentially every version of himself. If you love the desperate isolation of The Martian mixed with the high-concept temporal dread of Blake Crouch's Recursion or Dark Matter, this is your next OBSESSION. The Eighth Signal is a gripping, high-concept descent into psychological horror that will make you question everything you thought you knew about consciousness, time, and the horrifying silence between the stars. Every second you wait, the loop tightens. SCROLL UP and click "Buy Now" to dive into a thriller where the only thing more dangerous than space is the truth buried in your mind.
