Transmortal

Reality can fracture. Death can lie. And sometimes the soul is just the beginning. Thirty-two years ago, four-year-old Griffin Stone watched the Atlantica, the world's largest oceanic starliner, swallowed by impossible light. His father died ensuring Griffin and a handful of others escaped. The truth was buried. But Griffin never forgot. Now captain of a rogue salvage crew, Griffin scours derelict worlds and outlaw tech, officially working for REMSO. Unofficially, he's chasing the impossible: a way to resurrect his wife, whose consciousness remains trapped in an alien device after a failed cure transformed her into something else entirely. When hired to intercept a drifting freighter rumored to carry Mephilite, a mythical element that warps the laws of life and death, the crew expects high-risk salvage. Instead, they uncover something that pulls them into a vast, hidden conflict spanning worlds and timelines. Somewhere in the void, a species engineered its own extinction, trading flesh for circuits, bones for alloy, until nothing remained but ghosts in machines. Now these hollow echoes of sentience stir, and their hunger spans galaxies. As ancient technologies awaken and Griffin's fractured crew faces forces beyond comprehension, they must confront the terrifying cost of defying death in a universe where even mortality offers no escape. TRANSMORTAL fuses psychological horror with visceral spacefaring action, a story of loss, obsession, and the price of resurrection. For fans of Blade Runner, The Matrix and Altered Carbon.
