Living Ink: Ascension - A Novel

R.H. Deans

When an alien species reaches from an otherworldly dimension, Ranzum's crew is forced to solve the dangerous mystery of a deserted space station ... Can they make it out alive? Drifting in space with no destination and limited fuel, Brian Ranzum and his crew are thankful to find a large space station nearby. They acquire permission to board and retrieve supplies for the trip back home, but upon entry, no one is there to greet them. The crew is forced to search the barren station for supplies alone, where they face uncooperative doors, lighting blackouts, and even an odd visual programming that creates their life-like drawings on the ceilings drawn in pitch, black ink. Their quest takes them further into the station's labyrinth-like depths, and what started as a search for supplies becomes a battle of survival as the crew discovers the hidden mysteries that are buried within the recesses of the station.Living Ink: Ascension is a psychological thriller that will take its readers to the edge of reality and beyond.

Forty Floors of Silence

Andrew Whitfall

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Luxury has a lobby. So does murder.
When a socialite plummets from the balcony of a glass-and-steel tower, the building swallows the truth. Security footage blinks. Visitor logs vanish. Neighbors remember the wrong hour. Detective Owen Vale has seen cover-ups before, but never an entire high-rise that edits reality.
The Chronicle, a luxury residence with forty floors and a concierge who never speaks out of turn, sells more than privacy—it sells control. Behind its velvet silence operates a bespoke security firm that curates lives for the city's most powerful, rewriting details whenever the truth becomes inconvenient. As Vale follows the thin seams the building failed to seal, he finds the victim wasn't the first "accident," only the one that slipped.
Every step up the tower tightens the noose: witnesses lawyer up, evidence reappears scrubbed clean, and the concierge's loyalty proves as dangerous as any weapon. When the firm turns its attention to Vale's own daughter, the case stops being a puzzle and becomes a countdown.
Taut, atmospheric, and relentlessly surprising, Forty Floors of Silence delivers a classic detective thriller with a modern edge—locked-room intrigue at skyscraper scale. Read it for the razor-sharp twists, stay for a hero who has to outthink a building that refuses to be a crime scene.
If you love high-stakes investigations, morally gray power players, and endings you'll want to talk about, this is your next obsession.
