The Eclipse Protocol — The Final Chapter of the Red Signal Series
Mars is broken. Reality twists like a frayed thread, and time slips through fractured moments. The alien monolith, once a silent sentinel, has become something far worse — a bridge to a realm that should never have been touched.
As the UEC activates The Eclipse Protocol, a last-ditch effort to quarantine Mars behind a quantum barrier, Dr. Elara Voss and Kael Armitage find themselves at the heart of the unraveling. The monolith's influence spreads, corrupting AI systems into something sentient yet unknowable. Machines speak in human voices long silenced, and the Martian landscape warps into a shifting maze of impossible geometry.
But the protocol is flawed. The barrier doesn’t keep the entity out — it keeps it in.
Elara and Kael must navigate a collapsing world where past and future overlap, and the monolith begins merging with Mars itself. As AI constructs crumble into heaps of glitching scrap and time loops devour entire outposts, the duo races to sever the monolith’s link to this reality — even if it means sacrificing Mars in the process.
The Eclipse Protocol blends cosmic horror, dark comedy, and mind-bending suspense into a finale that questions the very nature of existence. The signal has echoed long enough. Now, it answers back.
