Waves (also known as Waves - The Trilogy) is a three-part novel by Ogan Gurel. A 21st century version of Faust, the novel explores good and evil in both individual and global settings focusing around a hypothetical (though reality-based) technology that has both medical and military applications. The protagonist, Tomas Twarok, is a contemplative and idealistic doctor-turned-entrepreneu r who strikes a deal with his college friend, Maximilian Iblis, a ruthless hedge fund manager.

The novel is constructed around three interleaved frame-narratives. The Melody, a reality-based sci-fi thriller that goes forward in time. The Harmony, which passes backward in time is a psychological drama (Bildungsroman) focusing primarily around the protagonist. The Rhythm, a scientific dialogue, which takes place over twelve hours in a single day. Music as metaphor plays an important unifying theme throughout the book.
