Book One of The Blackfile Syndicate
A Thriller by Tom Fuller

What if the signal you’re chasing… is chasing you back?

In the Mojave Desert, Elias Rourke has turned a Cold War listening station into a sanctuary for consciousness research. But when his team intercepts a master signal—coded, pulsing, alive—they awaken something vast and dangerous. Something that knows them.

As Elias deciphers the signal’s origin, a global syndicate begins to close in. Their weapon isn’t surveillance—it’s influence. Thought. Belief. Identity. And Elias, shaped by a meditation journey that makes him uniquely resistant, becomes their greatest threat.

From the shadows of the desert to the corridors of power, The Quiet Recording launches a high-stakes thriller series where every whisper matters, and silence is never safe.

Enter the signal. Follow the quiet. But don’t expect to leave unchanged.
