The Last Transmission

By E. C. Halden

A speculative literary thriller for fans of Silo, Station Eleven, and The Memory Police.

Elara Juno doesn't want to save the world-she just wants to keep the lights on.
As a maintenance tech in Arcology-9, her life is buried beneath kilometers of concrete, forgotten systems, and sanctioned silence. The towers sealed themselves off from the Earth generations ago, protecting what remained of humanity from a planet rendered uninhabitable.

At least, that's what they've always been told.

But when Elara intercepts a rogue signal from outside the walls-a voice claiming to be alive beyond the Flood Zones-everything begins to unravel. Her search for the truth will take her through the tower's forbidden levels, into decaying archives and dangerous alliances, and ultimately toward a secret buried at the very core of the arcology.

Because the towers didn't just survive the collapse.
They built something else beneath it.

And someone never meant for them to remember.

Tense, lyrical, and unsettlingly plausible, The Last Transmission is a story of memory as resistance, of found truths and fragile hope in the shadow of climate collapse.

Perfect for readers who crave immersive worldbuilding, slow-burn mystery, and characters wrestling with what it means to live after the end of the world.
