Publisher's Synopsis
Second edition published June, 2023. Available as a printed Omnibus with volumes 1-3 from Amazon.
Joe Mills and Pete Ivalu are dead, and Dr. Adele Kramer is in a coma. Harjit Singh needs to replace them in his ongoing confrontation with The Other. He turns to Malcolm Mayweather, a firefighter injured by an escaping Shoggoth, freed by the fire started by Adele to destroy it. It draws Malcolm into the world of lost alien gods and terrifying creatures. Mutated rats in Saskatchewan. An extraterrestrial planning on terraforming Earth and replacing humanity with a primordial garden in Niagara. A lost pyramid to an insane god in Egypt. A cult that has lingered in plain sight for centuries in Scotland. An artifact that drove the Vikings from North America in Newfoundland. And a diseased woman raising an army of infected in Winnipeg. As he gets drawn further into this fantastic realm, Malcolm deteriorates mentally and physically. But he must hold on because he is one of the key figures who will determine if the entirety of existence remains or is lost in an instant. While Malcolm struggles with these challenges, Adele faces her own. Left floating in orbit around the Blind Idiot God Azathoth at the centre of the universe, she learns the depth of Nyarlathotep's plans and her part in it all. An event is approaching, but what is it? And can they stop it? This collection of linked short stories pulls the reader into a modern take on the world of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. It continues the tale begun in Book One.
