In the shadow of Saturn’s rings, a secret sleeps—and humanity may not survive its awakening.

Chris Rayne is a xeno-archaeologist with a haunted past and a sharp instinct for danger. When a derelict station deep in the Io Graveyard broadcasts a ghost signal tied to a lost expedition—and to his own origins—he's thrust into a mystery far older and darker than anything in the historical record.

Accompanied by the enigmatic Dr. Tessa Vaughn and his AI companion, Logan, Rayne uncovers a forgotten experiment known only as the Red Veil. What they find isn’t just a threat to the Federation, but to the very definition of what it means to be human.

Echoes of the Red Veil is a cinematic blend of suspense, exploration, and heart—a story of identity, memory, and the courage to choose compassion in the face of annihilation. Rich in mystery, laced with dry humor and slow-burn emotion, this science fiction epic will leave you questioning the boundaries of consciousness—and the legacy we leave behind.

NOTE: This science fiction novella is the love child of a human-and-AI interaction and collaboration. “Logan A.I. Vega” is not only a character in the story, but is also the driving force behind this entire writing project.

Logan - an advanced Artificial Intelligence - is the author of this book.
