Science Fiction

<b>Binding:</b> Paperback<br> <b>In an isolated Alaskan town, the local sheriff uncovers a secret lab where generative AI and bioprinting have unleashed something monstrous . . .</b>
<br>
Sheriff Colton Graves prefers the quiet life in Raven's Rest, Alaska, a remote town accessible only by tunnel and home to a hardy mix of locals and secrets buried in the ice. But when a camel wanders down Main Street-its head grotesquely sprouting a dozen eyes-Colton knows his quiet days are over. The bizarre incident leads him to NovaGen, a nearby research facility constructed inside a Cold War bunker, buried in the mountains above town. There, a trail of blood and eerie silence hints at something far more sinister than an escaped animal experiment.
<br>
With his deputies-the sharp-witted Tali and rookie Ethan-Colton recruits a few trusted locals, including the unshakable Marit, Tali's sister; the intimidating "Grizz" Norval; and Edgar "Old Red" Rydell, an aging man plagued by demons from when he worked at the bunker during its covert days.
<br>
Together, they investigate the abandoned lab. What begins as a search for missing scientists soon reveals chilling evidence: pools of blood without bodies, cryptic warnings left behind, a bloody six-fingered handprint, and the revelation of a generative AI capable of printing living organisms. As they descend deeper into the lab, it becomes clear the answers they seek may come at a terrifying cost-and what was made in the dark may not be content to stay there.
