A man loses his work badge. A woman faces eviction. A family's home value is frozen before the inspector reaches the door.Assistant Counsel Charlotte "Charlie" Prudhomme discovers that the inspections are part of something larger: private conversations collected, reviewed, and used to decide who will be pressured next.Charlie finds the proof.Then she is killed.The government broadcasts a clean account of what happened. Walter Miller knows the voice delivering it.It is his own.To expose the truth, Walter must follow a trail of recordings, ledgers, official broadcasts, hidden film, and people the system has learned to erase. But in a country where images are forbidden and voices can be manufactured, evidence means nothing unless someone can make the public see it.The Room launches The Transmission Era, a six-book alternate-history suspense series about surveillance, propaganda, forbidden images, and ordinary people fighting to recover the truth before the official version becomes permanent.Atmospheric, urgent, and unsettling, The Room combines political conspiracy, historical tension, and speculative suspense in a world frighteningly close to our own.
