The Silence Files

Theo Rennick / Near-future techno-thriller

In 2050 the truth does not lie. It goes quiet. A standalone series about the incidents a managed society is built to forget, and the people who go looking for the record that was never kept.

Truth by silence.

The Silence Files imagines a near future where power no longer needs to lie. It only needs to stay quiet. Records are not falsified, they are simply never written. An incident becomes a gap. A gap becomes normal. And the system that manages the silence is patient, distributed, and very hard to blame.

The setting

A managed, real-geography northern Europe, roughly 2050.

The shape

Standalone files. Each book opens one suppressed incident.

The voice

Slow-Horses atmospherics, quantum-thriller plotting.

Theo Rennick

Theo Rennick is the pen name Black Dunes Press uses for the near-future files. The books read like cold political thrillers with a technical spine: recognisable cities, plausible systems, and a recurring point of view in Mireya Kaldas, who keeps finding the record no one meant to keep.
