Seattle Static

A burning city in 1889. A doomed ghost ship in 1906. A modern metropolis about to be torn apart by both.

Cali Rhodes isn't a cop or a fed-she's an anomaly hunter. When her meters go crazy on a late-night Seattle ferry, she witnesses the impossible: the SS Valencia, a steamship that sank over a century ago, physically phasing through the modern vessel. Someone is punching holes in the timeline, and the static is bleeding into the present.

Teaming up with Finn Jacoby, a rugged heavy-lift salvage diver, Cali tracks the chronal radiation deep into the forgotten Seattle Underground. There, they uncover a terrifying plot. A rogue physicist has built a massive, Victorian-engineered Chronal Capacitor, using the thermal energy of the 1889 Great Seattle Fire to power a heist across time. His ultimate prize? Dragging the doomed Valencia and its lost gold off the reef and into the present.

But ripping a sinking ship from the past means dragging its hurricane with it. As a century-old storm collides with modern Seattle and phantom flames threaten to ignite the city grid, Cali and Finn must board a ghost ship in a fractured timeline to break the anchor.

If they fail, history won't just repeat itself-it will overwrite the future.

Seattle Static is a fast-paced, high-stakes sci-fi thriller that blends gritty urban exploration with mind-bending temporal physics. Perfect for fans of supernatural mysteries, maritime action, and race-against-the-clock adventures.
