On Erebus-6, the past doesn’t stay buried. It waits to be remembered.

Elia Tran leads a team sent to a distant colony after a communications blackout raises fears of political unrest and system failure. What she finds instead is far more unsettling. Deep below the planet’s surface, the colonists have discovered an ancient obelisk that predates humanity. And it has awakened.

As Elia and her crew investigate, they uncover a link to a non-human intelligence that does not invade with force, but with memory. It absorbs lives. It copies identities. And it is spreading through the colony one mind at a time.

Haunted by her own hidden past, Elia must decide whether attempting to communicate with this entity will save her team… or open the door for it to erase everyone.

Echo Protocol is a psychological science fiction horror novel of first contact, memory, and identity—perfect for fans of Annihilation, Arrival, and The Expanse.
