LEVEL ZERO: A Dystopian Sci-Fi Thriller: The Last City on Earth and the Lie That Kept Us Underground

In Vault City, a sprawling subterranean complex, humanity has survived for eighty-one years beneath a poisoned surface world inhabited by creatures called Ferals. Life underground depends on recycled air, synthetic light, and the absolute authority of the General. Kael, daughter of the high command, has always followed the rules that maintain order in the vault. But when she discovers a scratched message from her brother—whom she was told died a hero—her certainty begins to crack. A hidden map and forbidden frequency lead her to uncover that the monsters aren't only on the surface. They walk the corridors of Level One, conducting "reassignments" from which no one returns. Searching for the truth about her brother's disappearance, Kael descends to Level Nine, the lawless depths where the forgotten and rebellious are cast aside. There she learns that the surface isn't a graveyard but a prize the elite have kept for themselves. With help from a disgraced prisoner and a technician with dangerous knowledge, Kael must navigate betrayal and surveillance to broadcast the truth to the thousands living in darkness. But the General will do anything to keep the door sealed.
