CoreFall
By Barrie Carter
In the heart of Nevada, an unexplained tremor marks the beginning of a global anomaly—one that defies science, shatters lives, and exposes a hidden truth beneath the Earth’s surface. As cities collapse and governments scramble for answers, two families find themselves caught in the fallout of a planet on the brink.
Angela Beck, a quiet professional haunted by personal loss, and James Hardy, a rugged utility worker with a fractured past, are pulled into a growing storm of mystery, survival, and transformation. At the center of it all: CoreNet, a powerful AI system meant to protect humanity, now struggling to hold the world together.
But something is changing beneath the crust... something no one is prepared for.
As society fractures and the anomaly spreads, a cast of unlikely heroes must face what lies below—a threat not born of man, but awakened by him. In the shadows of collapsing nations and rising fear, the true danger may not be the anomaly itself, but the choices we make when the Earth turns against us.
