A Sci-Fi Thriller

De: C. J. Hale

In 2004, Navy pilots encountered something impossible off the coast of San Diego. The Tic Tac incident became the most documented UAP case in history, and the most ignored.

Twenty years later, oceanographer Dr. Morgan Hale discovers why.

Morgan sees patterns others miss. Seven miles beneath the Pacific, her acoustic sensors detect a repeating signal anchored to the Mariana Trench. Seventy-two hour cycles. Harmonic intervals. Coordinated across every ocean floor on Earth. When she isolates the pattern, the timeline becomes clear: contact is coming. And it's not random. It's scheduled.

With physicist Gianna Moretti and ex-NSA analyst Eli Navarro, Morgan has seventy-two hours to decode what the signals mean before the beings beneath the ocean surface. Vice Admiral Thomas Harlan mobilizes the USS Carl Vinson. Global powers race to the trench. But Morgan realizes the pattern has been there all along, hidden, watching, waiting for humanity to finally listen.

The countdown is ending. And the ocean is done being silent.

For readers who loved Project Hail Mary, The Andromeda Strain, and The Expanse.

AI is Terrible

AI isn’t ready to read a story. The times in the story are military but the AI reads the time as a number. One thousand four hundred and twenty one hours should be 1421 hours it’s annoying. Over and over. AI also mis pronounces some words. I won’t be picking another title that’s read by AI.

interesting angle not heard before.

good story, well written interesting story. good organization and character development. very enjoyable find and listen
