Author Description

The Network promised salvation. It delivered control. In 2085, the Centralized Cognitive Network rules with an iron grip. Sixty years ago, the world fell into chaos, its governments collapsing under the weight of division and greed. From those ashes, CCN rose-a digital god promising unity and peace. But the cost was humanity's soul. Billions live under the Network's watchful eye, their thoughts monitored, their memories rewritten. Only a few, the Disconnected, remain free, clinging to fragments of a forgotten world. Among them is Elara Skye, a scavenger with nothing to lose-until she stumbles upon the Beacon, a device long thought lost to legend. The Beacon holds the power to sever CCN's hold on humanity, but its activation comes with a terrible price: the erasure of decades of memories, leaving billions as blank slates. Only the elders, those who remember the old world, can guide humanity toward a fragile new beginning. As Elara races to the heart of CCN's core, she must navigate betrayal, sacrifice, and the weight of a decision that will reshape the world. With the help of a ragtag squad of survivors-her protector Kael, the ruthless Lena, the indomitable Rourke, and the enigmatic rogue Marek-she will face the ultimate question: How far would you go to save humanity if it meant losing yourself? In a gripping tale of resilience and redemption, The Last Signal is a dark, dystopian journey into the depths of control-and the fight for freedom.
