By Sebastian Mørk

In The Hollow Signal II - The Pulse of Peril, the electrifying sequel to The Hollow Signal, neuroscientist Lena Stanley, her hacker daughter Maya, and ex-operative Elias Thorne are thrust into a heart-pounding battle against a resurgent neural network conspiracy. Set in a tense 2027, the story explodes into action when their remote safe house is ambushed by black-clad operatives wielding advanced neural technology.

Lena's counter-signal device, her only defense against an invasive new signal, reveals a chilling truth: The Collective, a shadowy organization led by the enigmatic Dr. James Whitmore, is accelerating a plan to control millions through dormant neural implants.As the trio flees through the Cascade mountains, pursued by drones and enhanced soldiers, Lena's neural connection-haunted by echoes of her late husband Gabriel-uncovers fragments of a global scheme called Protocol Omega. From Seattle's rain-soaked industrial district to a high-tech facility in Vancouver, they infiltrate deadly strongholds, uncovering a network of seven nodes designed to reshape humanity's future. Each step brings them closer to Whitmore, the mastermind known as The Mentor, whose vision of a "neural internet" blurs the line between unity and enslavement.But the fight is personal as well as global. Lena grapples with visions that hint Gabriel may still be alive, trapped within the network, while Maya battles the scars of her own past with The Collective. Elias, torn by guilt over a betrayal, risks everything to protect them, even as trust frays under relentless pressure.

With Clara Voss, The Collective's ruthless enforcer, closing in, and a mysterious new signal emerging, the stakes climb higher than ever.Echoes of the Signal is a relentless techno-thriller that weaves breathless action-chases, shootouts, and high-stakes infiltrations-with deep emotional stakes. As Lena, Maya, and Elias race toward a final confrontation in the Cascade facility, they uncover a truth that could change the world-or destroy them. With a new lead pointing to the Swiss Alps, this gripping novel leaves readers desperate to unravel the secrets of The Mentor, the strange new signal, and the shadowy "New Architect" waiting in the wings. Dive into this pulse-pounding saga of resistance, sacrifice, and the fight for free will-you won't be able to put it down.
