Corin Hayes
Beneath the waves, redemption waits—and death is only the beginning.
Beneath the waves, survival comes at a price—and Corin Hayes has already paid more than most. Once a naval pilot, now a broken man haunted by loss and drowning in guilt, Hayes scrapes by in the neon-lit, claustrophobic cities of a drowned world where food, air, and safety are never guaranteed. Sarcastic, stubborn, and too damn reckless to quit, he takes on the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs no one else will touch—missions that drag him into sabotage, gang wars, kidnappings, and conspiracies that could shatter what’s left of humanity’s fragile hold beneath the ocean. Equal parts noir thriller, sci-fi survival, and character-driven drama, the Corin Hayes series by G. R. Matthews is a gripping dive into loss, redemption, and the fight to keep breathing in a world where even the sea wants you dead.
The World of Corin Hayes
There have been stories, there are always stories, of sailors who’d gone to the surface. Either their sub had developed a fault and they’d needed to take on air, even the poisoned air of the world above, or they’d followed the old myths about riches on the islands that peeked through the waves. In the stories, they all went mad or died some horrible death.
I play the guitar and so I had a go at adding some atmospheric music to capture the world of Corin Hayes.
