Book 3 — Echoes of the Core

The signal is no longer distant.

Anomalies ripple through the Nexus Core itself—the AI lattice sustaining the entire convoy. Communication drifts. Systems hesitate. Maintenance drones behave as if they are listening instead of executing.

As the Blacks descend into the convoy’s technological heart, they uncover a terrifying truth: the Ghost Code is not corrupting systems—it is rewriting how systems understand purpose. The boundary between artificial intelligence, psionic resonance, and intention begins to dissolve.

While the Concord debates authority and control, an ancient cadence takes root in the convoy’s foundations. The past is quietly edited. Records change. Memory becomes unreliable.

Echoes of the Core deepens the series into metaphysical territory without abandoning consequence, revealing that the greatest danger may not be collapse—but transformation no one consented to.
