    Written by J.S. Nathaniel — Narrated by Tara Sandoval and Avery Sandoval 
    Length: 6 hours and 8 minutes 
    Some gods never die, they just rewrite the code. 
    For centuries, the secretive Ouroboros have ruled from the shadows, shaping human history through illusion and algorithm. When billionaire Hunter Persefoni defies their control, his family vanishes and the world itself begins to fracture. 
    Hunted across collapsing timelines, Hunter must navigate alien mimics, digital cults, and the haunting memory of his lost daughter, Ember. Each countdown tick brings him closer to an unbearable truth: the real war isn’t for Earth, it’s for the human soul. 
    J.S. Nathaniel delivers a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that fuses noir atmosphere, philosophical depth, and cinematic action into an unforgettable story of rebellion, grief, and rebirth. Perfect for fans of The Matrix, Philip K. Dick, and dark speculative fiction that challenges reality itself.

    Being on a ship is usually very safe.  The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable.  A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world.  Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm.  But worse?  No, not really possible, is it? 
     
    In this volume our authors beg to differ.  They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be.  Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.
