Lunar Static and Sunken City

In 1952, amid atomic anxieties and shortwave chatter, a Navy sonar sweep uncovers ruins beneath the North Atlantic. At the same hour, transatlantic broadcasts are sliced by a strange lunar static—voices warped, melodies time-dilated. Reporter-turned-amateur-radio-operator and a marine engineer chase coincidences through valve radios, bathysphere sketches, and classified Admiralty memos. Is the Moon distorting our airwaves, or is something in the drowned city reaching up? Equal parts noir, scientific curiosity, and Cold War suspicion, this was a year when every mystery sounded like a distress signal from another age.
