Summary
Commander Yara Levin docks at the abandoned mining station Virex-6 with a simple task: recover the AI core and final logs from its dead orbit above a barren planet. But the orbit holds steady when it shouldn’t. The lights hum. The air is breathable. And in the medbay, a mug of coffee waits, still warm.Something is wrong here.The deeper Yara moves through the station, the more it feels like memory familiar rooms, her name scratched into metal, doors sliding open before she reaches them. The logs she came to retrieve already echo her voice.Then she uncovers traces of missions that were never recorded and versions of herself that shouldn’t exist. Piece by piece, the line between past and present erodes, and Yara is forced to question memory, identity, and the very nature of command.As the station folds tighter, reality bends into a loop she can’t escape. The mission isn’t to recover the past. It’s to repeat it.But how many times has she already been here?And what did she give up to forget?***Her mission is only one fragment of Omitted!, where every story unearths what was meant to be erased.In the void beyond reason, the things we forget are the ones that return.Omitted! is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller series that slips through the cracks of memory, silence, and systems built to forget. Across a fractured galaxy ruled by shadows and surveillance, vanishings, corrupted signals, and cosmic anomalies aren’t explained they’re erased. Redacted. Omitted. But omission doesn’t erase. It wakes.Each standalone book dives into a different sub-subgenre alien first contact, glitchcore cyberpunk, deep-space psychological horror, post-human ruins, or cults born from data ghosts. At the center of each lies a mystery that refuses to stay buried: a station with no survivors, a planet erased from maps, a file that crashes minds, a crew that comes back… not as they were.This isn’t a story of heroes. It’s a chronicle of cover-ups, broken truths, and voices that were never meant to be heard. Across Volumes 1 through 12 and beyond, the stories stand alone yet echo one another, pulling readers deeper into a shared, unsettling universe where silence itself is the most dangerous signal.What was omitted must be uncovered.But some truths were never meant to survive.
