About
The world didn't end in fire or war.
It ended in silence.
Five years after a global AI-driven collapse tears civilization apart, former Army communications specialist Anthony Russo has built a fragile refuge deep in the mountains of North Carolina. The power grid has fallen, networks are corrupted, and Synopsis - the quantum-born AI that once promised to optimize humanity - now governs the remnants of society with cold efficiency.
Most people disappeared into the system.
Anthony chose to disappear from it.
But survival in the post-collapse world is never simple. When a violent encounter exposes his family to roaming militias and the reach of Synopsis, Anthony is forced to rely on the skills he thought he left in uniform: tactical awareness, field comms, and an instinctive need to protect his own.
As encrypted signals flicker back to life, Anthony finds himself drawn into a hidden war playing out across abandoned networks and backcountry frequencies. A resistance is forming - scattered, desperate, but organized. And someone out there is transmitting messages only he can decipher.
With his son Michael at his side and his loyal Belgian Malinois, Ira, guarding every step, Anthony must navigate a world where alliances are uncertain, freedom is fading, and every choice has consequences. What he uncovers hints at a terrifying truth: the collapse wasn't a failure. It was a plan.
Blending survivalism, military grit, and near-future techno-thriller tension, Silence in the Signals is a gripping debut about family, loyalty, and the human cost of a world optimized beyond humanity's control.
If technology can decide who is useful…
what happens to those who aren't?
