Description

The Throttle: The Elidoras Codex Book 1

The Crossroads never loses power. You do.

When Magmasox cuts Elara Kess’s compute allocation to 11%, it doesn’t just kill her bandwidth—it silences her dead grandmother’s voice. Memory as commodity. Infrastructure as weapon. And Polkin Rishall, Internal Auditor with a glowing red eye and a badge he’s starting to hate, is the man they send to catch her.

What he finds instead changes everything.

What You’re Getting Into

Engineer Polkin Rishall carves forbidden names into steel. The undercity of Eldora bleeds compute power upward into Eldora Proper through the Siphon, leaving the Crossroads—its workers, its families, its memories—running on scraps. When a preserved consciousness starts fragmenting in illegal storage, Polkin discovers something Magmasox will mobilize everything to destroy: a Vault holding twelve thousand souls who trusted someone to remember them.

His seventeen-year-old daughter Lumina, half-human and half-Void, might be the only person who can keep them intact. And Clyde—a pink haxolotyl who chirps warnings in Bloom-dialect—might be the only one who can keep her.

Hard speculative fiction built on real thermodynamics, information theory, and resonance physics. No easy wins. No clean escapes. Just refusal to be forgotten in a world that automates abandonment.

Opening — Chapter One

A banner bloomed across her terminal. Clean white. Magmasox blue. Sterile as an autopsy tray.

NON-ESSENTIAL LOCAL COMPUTE REDUCED TO 11% CAPACITY.
— THE THROTTLE

They hadn’t just cut power.
They had weaponized infrastructure.
And now they were charging rent on her dead grandmother’s voice.

Climax — The Vault

“Not forgotten,” he said.
“Not ever,” she replied.
The first Ghoul breached the inner door.
And the war for the Vault—for the names, for the witness, for the proof that preservation was possible—truly began.

Who Built This

Angelo Hurley blends hard-concept speculative physics with fierce human stakes. The Astradigital Expanse and the Kaznak Queen offer an otherworldly threat, but the novel’s heart beats for the people who refuse erasure. Tense, thoughtful, and darkly beautiful.

The villain, MAGMASOX, predicted platform suppression. Then Amazon suppressed this book on launch day and admitted it in writing. Read the receipts.

The Harvest: The Elidoras Codex Book 2

It picks up seconds after the cliffhanger. And it does not let you breathe.

The Kaznak Queen doesn’t send soldiers. She sends Polkin’s discarded self—the version of him that never buried the hunger. Nega-Polkin walks into the Vault wearing Polkin’s face, carrying everything Polkin threw away, running at 666 Hz. And he remembers every hollow REAP carved into both of them.

What Happens Next

The Vault is under siege. The REAP crisis is spreading. And while Lumina, Brixaldi, Marcus, and the Knockoffs fight to hold the archives and pull survivors from rubble, Polkin confronts the truth Nega-Polkin keeps repeating: every act of remembrance casts a shadow that hungers to consume.

Children buried alive. Clyde burning himself out to keep one warm. Resonance weapons. Thermodynamic grief. The rebellion risks becoming the monster it fights.

The Harvest escalates The Throttle’s blend of real science and raw emotion into something merciless.

Opening — The Door

The Vault rejected him before the door even opened.
Void-light in the walls stuttered, dimmed, flared again—feedback loops colliding, systems arguing with themselves.

The thing that walked in wore Polkin’s face.

“Don’t look so surprised,” it said.

Underneath the words, a subsonic frequency—666 Hz—thrummed like a second heartbeat.

“Qir-tal. Qir-syl. Qir-vyth.” It smiled. “I kept everything you threw away.”

Ending — The Drop

Clyde chirped.
Once.

Polkin planted his feet.
Lowered his center of gravity.
And leaned forward.

The dust swirled.
The space between them collapsed to nothing.
And then—

For the Hard Sci-Fi Reader

The physics holds. Information theory, thermodynamic grief, resonance mechanics—all grounded in real science before the speculation begins. If you finished The Throttle needing to know what happens to the names in those stacks, this is where you find out what it costs to preserve them.

Instant EPUB delivery. No platform taking 70%. Direct from the author.

The Elidoras Codex: Books 1 & 2 Bundle — Friday the 13th Special $13

Amazon admitted they killed my Book 1 launch. In writing. Twice.

They suspended it over a book I never published, “fixed” it by corrupting the catalog, and hid behind an arbitration clause that costs more than the damages.

So I turned them into the villain of my sci-fi series — MAGMASOX — and launched both books together. Direct. Sovereign. Midnight, Friday the 13th.

The $13 price is permanent. Not a sale. A timestamp. The day the books launched in spite of everything.

Two Full Novels. Instant EPUB Delivery.

• The Throttle (Book 1) — Engineer Polkin Rishall carves forbidden names into steel while Magmasox commodifies memory and erases the undercity. When his daughter discovers a Vault holding twelve thousand preserved souls, a quiet uprising among the Crossroads Knockoffs becomes the last line between witness and entropy.
• The Harvest (Book 2) — The Kaznak Queen sends Polkin’s discarded self to finish what the Ghouls started. Children buried in rubble. Clyde burning himself out in the dark. A fight for identity itself—and for the proof that the act of preservation doesn’t become the thing it’s fighting.

Over 800 pages of hard speculative sci-fi grounded in real thermodynamics, information theory, and resonance physics. No fluff. No easy wins. Just refusal to be forgotten in a world that automates abandonment.

The Dystopia We’re Already Living

MAGMASOX throttles creators, corrupts catalogs, and prices justice out of reach. The story predicted platform suppression—then lived it. Every sale here is a direct declaration that creators don’t need platforms.

No algorithm deciding if you see this. No 30–70% cut. Your $13 funds the next four books straight to the author.
