In the cold expanse of deep space, Investigator Zara Tal is summoned to the Atlas Arcology to uncover the truth behind the catastrophic failure of the Eshara-1, a colony ship lost under mysterious circumstances. Official reports cite a systems malfunction, but fragments of corrupted data hint at something far more sinister—whispers of an ancient force awakening, cryptic symbols embedded within the ship's core, and a device built not to propel humanity forward, but to contain an unfathomable darkness.

The Nebuchadnezzar Device, an enigmatic artifact reverse-engineered from ancient Mesopotamian relics, was never meant to be harnessed. It was a seal, designed to keep something locked beyond the threshold of reality. But driven by ambition, the Atlas Corporation has ignored the warnings etched in cuneiform, believing they can control the uncontrollable.

As Zara digs deeper, she uncovers a web of corporate deceit, psychological manipulation, and metaphysical horrors that defy logic. The crew succumbs to madness, haunted by whispers in the dark and shadows that move on their own. The Device isn't malfunctioning—it's waking up.

With the fabric of reality unraveling and the line between the known and the unknowable blurring, Zara must confront not only the mysteries of the Device but also the darkness within herself. Because some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

The Nebuchadnezzar Device is a chilling sci-fi thriller that explores the cost of human ambition, the fragility of sanity, and the terrifying possibility that we are not alone—and never were.
