It began with a warning. In the city of Gidan-Karo, people are dying from an illness no one can explain. The government calls it food poisoning. Hospitals are overwhelmed. Military checkpoints appear without explanation. Roads are sealed. Communications begin to fail. And then the bodies start disappearing.Hamza Danladi, a journalist with The Northern Voice, refuses to accept the official story. What begins as an investigation into a mysterious outbreak soon leads him to hidden laboratory reports, sealed biological containers, missing patients, military operations, and a symbol that keeps appearing wherever the truth is buried. Aisha Sani, a doctor fighting to save her patients, discovers that some of the sick are being taken away rather than treated. General Ibrahim Garba, a soldier committed to protecting the country, finds himself trapped between orders from above and the people he swore to defend. Across the collapsing nation, a teacher protects abandoned children, a transport businessman carries secrets he wishes he had never learned, and even those who came to wage war discover that the enemy is something they never planned for. Behind the chaos is a hidden network known only as CONTINUITY. They have been preparing for something. Something bigger than the outbreak.Something bigger than the government. And as cities fall silent, Hamza must uncover the truth before there is no one left to hear it. BEFORE THE SILENCE is a gripping apocalyptic thriller about disease, war, conspiracy, survival, sacrifice, and the dangerous price of truth. When the world begins to collapse, the greatest question is not who will survive. It is who will be allowed to.
