North Star Static: What the Desert Antenna Heard

A dead satellite starts transmitting again, and the signal it sends back is coming from a place that shouldn't be able to send anything at all. Ethan Blackwell, Mara Whitlock, and Daniel Cross trace the broadcast across hundreds of miles of dead radio silence to a rusted, decommissioned antenna array buried in the desert - a station that was supposed to have been shut down and forgotten decades ago. What they find waiting for them there is not a malfunction. It's an answer to a question none of them asked.

Connor Hayes CH writes thrillers where science and the unexplainable collide. Drawn to abandoned technology, forgotten signals, and the strange silence of the desert, he crafts stories that blur the line between paranormal mystery and hard-edged suspense. When he's not writing, he's chasing old radio history and true stories of places the world forgot. North Star Static is his latest exploration of what happens when something long dormant finally answers back.
