The Afterlife Signal the Aether Code's Secrets: Ethically Fraught Technology Designed to Find out, Scientifically, what Happens to Human Consciousness

Grief is a dark, consuming void. For neuroscientist Dr. Sarah Jenkins, it's also the catalyst for the impossible. Shattered by the sudden death of her partner, Mark, she pours her life's work into the Aether Code - a radical, ethically fraught technology designed to find out, scientifically, what happens to human consciousness after it leaves the body.
But the first signal she receives from a dying volunteer is unlike anything she could have predicted.
Not just scientific data, but a complex, terrifying transmission hinting at a reality, a state, beyond our own understanding. Sarah's audacious breakthrough instantly paints a target on her back.
Forces unknown, powerful, and ruthless emerge from the shadows, determined to seize control of the data - a potential roadmap to the afterlife - no matter the cost.
Forced on the run, stripped of her resources, Sarah finds an unlikely lifeline in Liam O'Connell, a brilliant, off-grid analyst with a healthy distrust for authority. Together, they embark on a desperate, high-stakes journey to decipher the Aether Code's secrets, navigating a world where trust is a luxury and their relentless pursuers are always just one step behind. Their quest for the truth about death might just be the death of them.
