Earth Forgotten

By Mark Wahlbeck

Earth was lost for thousands of years.
Keidri was the one man obsessed enough to find it.

When Keidri's deep-space vessel is struck by an unknown artifact, his ship's AI makes a desperate choice: crash-land on the only world in the system with breathable air. An uncharted planet. Endless ocean. A horizon that shouldn't exist.

Then the sensors confirm the impossible.

He's standing on Earth.

But Earth isn't dead-it's waiting.

Drawn by a beacon pulsing from beneath miles of water, Keidri discovers a submerged facility-an ancient site built to contain something that was never meant to be found. And he isn't the only one who heard the call. A powerful government force is already closing in, determined to claim the weapon hidden in the deep... no matter what it unleashes.

When the facility's containment fails, the ocean becomes a sealed tomb-steel corridors, fading power, rising water, and a predator that learns fast.

Keidri's only chance of stopping the nightmare from reaching the stars is an unlikely ally: Giddy, a hardened sixteen-year-old scavenger from the floating survivors who still roam Earth's surface. She knows these waters. She knows what people become when they're desperate. And she knows that some doors should stay buried.

Now Keidri must choose what he came for:
- the truth he crossed the void to prove
- or the sacrifice required to keep Earth's darkness from following him home

EARTH FORGOTTEN is a standalone science fiction thriller packed with high-stakes survival, underwater dread, and relentless momentum-perfect for readers who love lost-world mysteries, contained sci-fi horror, and "one wrong discovery" catastrophes.

Some planets are forgotten for a reason.
