Riassunto:

What if the world’s last hope was hidden inside a livestream?

Rip Calder is nobody special. He streams games to a handful of viewers, scrapes by in a neon-soaked city, and dreams of a better future with the woman he loves. Everything changes when masked soldiers abduct Lora, thrusting him into a deadly conflict that stretches far beyond the streets of Virelia.

Hunted by powerful forces and haunted by secrets buried beneath the city, Rip discovers he possesses a legendary artifact known as the Sound Key, an ancient power capable of reshaping reality itself. As the truth unfolds, he is drawn into a war between rebels, corporations, and forces older than history, all converging on a mysterious machine known as the Core.

At the center of the conflict lies a power capable of rewriting memories, altering consciousness, and deciding the fate of humanity. To save Lora, Rip must master abilities he barely understands, forge uneasy alliances, and confront enemies who have sacrificed their humanity in pursuit of control. The deeper he ventures into the Core’s secrets, the more he realizes that it is not merely a machine. It is alive, and it has plans of its own.

As the line between man and machine begins to blur, Rip must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice for the people he loves. Failure will cost more than Lora’s life. It could mean the end of free will itself.

Core of Echos is a dark cyberpunk science fiction adventure filled with mystery, action, unforgettable characters, and high-stakes choices. Perfect for fans of immersive futuristic worlds, artificial intelligence, and epic sci-fi journeys, this debut novel explores love, memory, identity, and the choices that define what it means to be human.
