Threading the Code - Something Slipped Between the Lines of the Firewall

Ellis R. Grave

Sinossi

In a future where memory can be rewritten like code, freelance hacker Kara Lin has always sworn she’d never blur the line between self and system. But when a hidden file ETHOS.PATCH.null slips into her neural rig, everything begins to unravel. Time fractures. Identity glitches. Reality feels like corrupted data sliding through her hands.What starts as a routine breach spirals into something personal. Fragments of her past surface in mirrors, half-heard voices, and forgotten logs. A ghost of a sister she may have chosen to erase calls her back. And the program hunting her might not be an enemy at all it might be her.As memory bends and manipulation deepens, Kara realizes the patch isn’t just rewriting code it’s rewriting her. Each decision could restore what’s real, or trap her in endless recursion.In a city built on manufactured truth and engineered guilt, what happens when the hacker becomes the hacked?And when every version of you is suspect, what’s left of the one who remembers?***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.

              -- Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Gunfight and Manson 
Spring 1833 
Gentleman swindler Lyman Moreau is accustomed to changing his identity to suit his schemes. A new opportunity arrives when a collection of eleven mummies and several papyri covered in indecipherable hieroglyphs are due to arrive in New York's South Street Seaport direct from the Valley of the Kings. Enlisting the help of a crooked customs agent and a black market antiquities dealer, he assumes the identity of Michael Chandler, nephew of deceased Egyptologist Antonio Lebolo, and lays claim to the shipment. 
The showman's plan to amass his fortune displaying the stolen artifacts across the country becomes more complicated when one of his accomplices dies a suspicious death, causing Lyman and the man's beautiful widow to make a hasty escape from the city. Through four states, along the Erie Canal, and eventually to the doorstep of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, Lyman exhibits his dusty companions before a curious public. Rarely more than a few breaths ahead of his enemies, Lyman struggles to keep his prize from slipping away as he tangles with grief, love, betrayal, and a growing sense of his own mortality.
