Undeliverable
(2025)(The first book in the Dead Letter City Trilogy series)
A novel by Donald Beavers
In the Offal of Tomorrow’s Bureaucracy, An Outcast Uncovers a Deadly Conspiracy…
Welcome to Port Sumner—known to its broken, discarded staffers as ‘Dead Letter City’—where failed analysts and inconvenient minds are exiled beneath endless layers of flickering lights, choking dust, and watchful surveillance. To survive here is to fade into monotony, filing ghost-data and swallowing your own resignation as the system grinds ambition into dust. That’s what Elias Strand was supposed to do…until a cryptic, handwritten note and a murdered operative thrust him into the lethal machinery of Division 14.
Now, alongside the razor-sharp Petra Juno and a rogue’s gallery of hackers and scavengers, Elias must survive sensor-choked corridors, forgotten sublevels, and wastelands poisoned by old ambitions'''all while outrunning coldly efficient corporate executioners and worse: the predictive algorithms of Project Chrysalis, a system that profiles dissent and buryies living people as obsolete inventory.
For fans of atmospheric science fiction, dystopian thrillers, and near-future mysteries—Dead Letter City is a harrowing journey through bureaucratic decay, corporate murder, and the relentless digitization of the human spirit. Delve into a world where secrets are worth more than lives, hope is currency, and the only exits are betrayal…or oblivion.
File your appeal. Break the silence. Escape the archive.
A razor-sharp sci-fi thriller: When the system marks you for deletion, your only hope is to become the anomaly.
Genre: Mystery
