The Breath That Remains (Dark Oxygen)

Description

What if the final frontier of science… was the soul?
Ayaan Basu, a gifted neuroscientist haunted by loss, begins to hear a breath that doesn’t belong to the living. Driven by grief and wonder, he leaves the lab behind to seek answers in ancient caves, forgotten mantras, and the edges of memory itself.
But what he discovers is far more than spiritual comfort; he uncovers Dark Oxygen, a force beyond molecules and thought, a presence that links all living things.
From deep-sea missions to Himalayan silence, this novel weaves neuroscience, spiritual philosophy, and lived emotion into one powerful journey.
As memory fades and logic crumbles, one question remains: Are we the breath that disappears… or the breath that remains?
Rooted in the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, inspired by Tagore, Vivekananda, and Vedanta, and told through a modern lens of science and loss, The Breath That Remains is both a page-turner and a meditation.
Perfect for readers who loved:
• The Alchemist – spiritual awakening
• Tuesdays with Morrie – emotional depth
• The Midnight Library – life, death, and in-between
If you’ve ever asked “Who am I?”—beyond name, beyond breath—this story is your mirror.

About the Author

Manas Mondal is more than just a writer—he is a seeker and a storyteller who has journeyed to the edge of oceans, danger, and the human soul.
A decorated Navy veteran, Manas has dived into deep seas and flown helicopters like the Chetak, Seaking, and MI-8 through storms on life-saving missions that demanded not just skill but raw courage. Yet, beyond the uniforms and adrenaline, a deeper calling awaited—a journey inward. From the center of the ocean, he discovered the vast ocean within.
Today, Manas lives in Gujarat and works with a leading Public Sector Unit. Armed with an MBA in Supply Chain Management, he balances professional responsibility with his true passion—writing. His work nourishes the soul, telling stories that heal, inspire, and help people feel seen.
His bestselling books include Echoes of Separation: Whisper of Rebirth, The Secret Child, The Silent Manuscript, and The Ink That Fought Back. He has also co-authored The Pages of Power Vol-2 alongside 13 visionary writers, a book built on collaboration rather than competition.
Recognized for his literary and social impact, Manas has received the Author Award, the India Author Academy Voice Award, and the Rabindranath Tagore Banga Sahitya Kala Samman from World Book Records. Every one of his books has become an Amazon bestseller—not through flashy marketing, but because they genuinely connect with readers.
His work has been featured in USA News:
From Command to Connection: A Naval Veteran’s Mission to Build Better Humans
And he was honored as the “Best Author and Life Transition Story Coach in India for 2025”:
Best of Best Review Awards
Manas is also a lifelong learner, actively involved in ILH, India Author Academy, and Skill Nation. In the years ahead, he envisions going beyond publication—coaching aspiring writers and guiding people through life transitions as a Life Transition Story Coach. His mission is to help 100,000 people heal, reclaim their voice, and transform their lives through the power of storytelling.
Because to him, a book is never just a book.
It’s a reflection.
It’s a map.
It’s the beginning of coming back home to oneself.
