Dead Air; The Day the Music Died - Paperback

by Kelly Orchard (Author)

What if the airwaves were hijacked... and silence was only the beginning?

When veteran broadcast engineer Mike Harris wakes up to reports that every FM radio station under High Point Media's control has gone silent, he assumes it's a technical failure-maybe even an April Fool's prank. But when corporate headquarters and the FBI confirm that stations in five major U.S. cities have gone dark at the same time, Mike realizes something far more sinister is at play.

Then, the silence is broken.

A chilling, AI-generated voice takes over the frequencies, broadcasting cryptic messages of terror. As panic spreads and chaos grips the city, radio insiders scramble to regain control. But who is behind the attack? And what do they want?

With time running out, Mike is forced to make a life-altering decision-one that will determine the fate of the stations, the city, and his own future.

���� Inspired by real-world broadcasting, government power struggles, and the fragility of modern communication, Dead Air is a high-stakes psychological thriller that blends suspense, conspiracy, and media warfare.
