The Vanishing Meridian

By Musa Abdalla

At 2:17 in the morning, every compass in the world lies.

For ninety-three terrifying seconds, aircraft drift off course, ships turn toward coastlines, and navigation systems across the globe collapse.

Then everything returns to normal.

Except for Amara Vale.

A brilliant geospatial engineer, Amara vanishes from a secure satellite facility, leaving her disgraced rescue-pilot brother, Suleiman, one final message:

Do not follow north. Follow where we pray.

The clue leads Suleiman into a hidden world of ancient astrolabes, erased coordinates, secret observatories, underground railways, buried aircraft, and a global navigation system capable of controlling nearly everything that moves.

Planes. Weapons. Medicine. Money. Entire nations.

As Suleiman races from Detroit to Istanbul, across the deserts of Arabia, through the Caucasus, and beneath the Arctic ice, he uncovers a conspiracy tied to his father, his ruined career, and a powerful man who believes humanity can only survive if someone chooses its direction.

But the closer Suleiman comes to finding Amara, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Because the greatest threat is not getting lost.

It is allowing someone else to decide where the world should go.

The Vanishing Meridian is a cinematic international adventure thriller filled with mystery, betrayal, ancient knowledge, modern technology, spiritual depth, and a race to stop a system that could quietly control civilization itself.
