Discovery: Strange Eons, Book 1
In 1992, at the dawn of the age of technology, disgraced ex-game show host Manny di Martini schemes for a comeback with a deep-sea television special in the South Pacific.
He quickly finds himself in over his head, attracting the attention of a cosmic being who will lead Manny to a television broadcast event much bigger than the entire planet bargained evidence of a slumbering alien in a ruined city at the bottom of the ocean. One look at the monster on TV, and humans collectively freak out.
The narrative leaps between a cast of unforgettable characters, revealing their connections to cosmic gods who play with their lives. If humanity can't save itself, and the cosmic beings do not have humanity's best interests in their cold hearts, humanity will have to pull itself together to prepare for a war that not only threatens Earth but the very fabric of reality.

The discovery of an ancient elder god (Cthulhu type) sleeping at the bottom of the ocean in the South Seas, amid a massive temple complex causes civilization to begin to unravel.
The world suffering from "the collapse" see economies fail, the rise of civil unrest, wars, etc... With this as a backdrop the world works to sort itself out and begins to try and understand this sleeping threat, how to study it, prepare if it ever awakens, and restore order.
Into this story, we follow various characters who, unknown to each other, are pawns in a plan by unknown forces to find a solution.
As a lover of cosmic horror, I overall enjoyed this book, however, the character set-ups sometimes dragged for me. It wasn't until the climax that we are given a glimpse of the real plan and see the roles of these seemingly different actors and how they intertwine that really elevated the story.
This is obviously a book 1 of the tale, and I do look forward to continuing it.

A brilliant book and an outstanding audio production, Discovery is a sharply written tale full of intriguing vignettes, forming a spellbinding narrative. A definite 5-star work and an audiobook gem.
