Deep Black: Book Two of The Deep Series

An original graphic novel set in Christchurch, New Zealand in the year 2035.

In Cathedral City, the line between memory and simulation begins to blur.

Once known as Christchurch, this rebuilt city of glass and steel stands as a monument to human resilience—and to the quiet reach of corporate power. Technology doesn’t just shape the skyline here—it reaches into the human subconscious.

As Bri, a covert intelligence agent, senses the city tilting toward something it cannot name, Dolly, the jaguar is showing signs that alarm Bri and Peters. Meanwhile, Calix is questioned by the Council for the content of his dreams, Electra wakes to find her memories erased, told she chose to forget.

When dreams start leaking into waking life, the truth about Cathedral City threatens to surface—and those who still remember might be the only ones who can stop it.

Deep Black is the second book in Ben Ning’s Deep Series, picking up where Deep Blue left off. The story continues and concludes in Book Three.
