The Price Of Your Salvation Is My Damnation...
SILAS MORLOCK
A Novel By Mark Cantrell
Coming Soon From Writers of Worlds
"If you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
Friedrich Nietzsche
Imagine a world without war, without poverty, without hunger; a world where human desires can be fulfilled. Sounds like utopia. Impossible, you say. But it exists. So, leave your troubles behind; join us in Terapolis and be at peace. Be completed...
TERAPOLIS is an urban sprawl of global proportions; its flesh and bone towers breach even the oceans' restless barriers and forever shield humanity from the light of day. The city has subsumed the great conurbations of history, absorbed whole nations, embalmed entire continents...
Here, in the neon-lit avenues and shaded alleys, the populace pursues the endless and morbid pursuit of fleshly pleasures: anything that drowns the spark of Selfhood until it can be released into the mysterious and much-craved Gestalt-state.
The chimerical technology is the gift of Silas Morlock, the enigmatic and reclusive head of MorTek. Now, as Morlock contemplates the completion of his life's work, he is disturbed to learn of the return of an ancient scourge.
Hiding in the shadows of his city, an organisation known only as the Incunabula has resurrected an ancient and powerful drug. Slowly, its malign influence is spreading like a plague – and it is literally a poison to the Gestalt.
There is hope yet in the form of Adam, one of the dealer Caxton’s prime contacts. He is a misfit and a dreamer, an unlikely saviour indeed, torn between the cravings for the Gestalt and his burning addiction to Caxton’s merchandise.
So Adam is destined to become a pawn played by both sides in an ancient struggle, for Caxton is more than just a dealer; he knows the true nature of the Gestalt and he knows Morlock. The two share an old enmity that transcends even life and death.
The conflict will take Adam into the heart of darkness, where he is doomed to learn the secret of the Gestalt for himself. The discovery could cost him his Soul, but if he can overcome the horror then he might just save Humanity from itself...
In the shadows at the heart of darkness, Adam must find himself... or be worse than Damned. So begins the final battle for possession of the Human Soul.
Silas Morlock is mustering its forces on the launch list of Writers of Worlds; a new publisher soon to go live. Come back to Tyke Writer Export for the latest information on when the book becomes available...
