Eli Mercer, a reclusive science fiction writer, lived off-grid, surrounded by dusty books and obsolete tech. His quiet life changed when real-world events began to mirror the Dr Zachary S Davis Novel “Above Scorched Skies” —AI failures, red storms, political chaos. Readers called it prophecy; the government called it suspicious. Eli claimed he’d never read the book, yet his new manuscript matched it line for line. One night, he vanished, leaving behind only a cryptic note: “Truth hides in echoes.” The manuscript’s final chapter was sealed. Some say it holds the next global event—others say it was written by someone… not human.
