Codes of Madness

By Tolga Çağlayan

Some storms tear ships apart.
Others rewrite the people inside them.

Codes of Madness is not a story about the sea.
It is a story about what the sea awakens in the human mind when all systems fail.

Ayaz is an underwater researcher trained to trust procedures, instruments, and discipline. But when a violent storm severs communication, cripples the engine, and pushes his ship toward an unseen vortex, logic alone is no longer enough. As steel bends and silence thickens, the ocean begins to speak in a language older than reason.

Caught between survival and surrender, Ayaz must choose whether madness is something to resist-or something to understand.

Blending maritime realism with psychological depth, Codes of Madness explores the fragile boundary between control and chaos, science and intuition, sanity and the instincts that surface when there is nowhere left to run.

This is a novel about isolation, responsibility, and the cost of listening too closely to the depths.

Because when the horizon disappears,
the most dangerous waters are not outside the ship-
but inside the human mind.
