The Carbon Echo - Zebedee Njisuh Feka

Nature is chaotic. Chaos is bad for business.

Dr. Elena Reyes listens to the ocean. But in the deep, suffocating trench of the Sunda Strait, what she hears is murder.

When the multi-billion-dollar conservation firm Oceanus Regeneration deploys classified acoustic arrays off the coast of Indonesia, the ancient, living intelligence of the reef is silenced. They aren't saving the ecosystem-they are systematically deafening it to optimize their blue-carbon spreadsheets.

With a Category Five super-typhoon barreling toward the unprotected coast, Elena must align with a grieving indigenous fisherman and a rogue London financial auditor to expose the catastrophic fraud. Hunted by corporate mercenaries and racing against a manufactured apocalypse, they must plunge into the eye of the storm to hijack the murder weapon before the ocean goes permanently dark.

In the war between the Paper Ocean and the Root-Brain, survival is not guaranteed.
