Synth Code: Cascade

Some systems don't break. They spread. Fleet analyst Lira Vance is assigned to audit intelligence reports from the DSV Meridian, a routine verification of archived deep-substrate operations, but the records refuse to stay still. Crew members appear and disappear between versions of the same report. A dead officer is listed as active duty. A Synth Diver who should not exist is referenced in logs that rewrite themselves while she reads them. Every contradiction resolves itself by changing reality. >The source traces back to a single dive at Nexus Point 447. And to a name that keeps vanishing from every system she searches: >Whatever is inside the Meridian is no longer contained on the ship. It is spreading through records, memory, and history itself. > SYNTH CODE: CASCADE is book 2 of the series. >If you like Blake Crouch (Dark Matter, Recursion), Jeff VanderMeer (Annihilation), or Tom Sweterlitsch (The Gone World), this sci-fi thriller series delivers the same mind-bending blend of reality-bending science, psychological tension, and high-stakes mystery.
