UNCGSC: The Facility
Sci-fi with theological commentary, this hybrid-genre carries elements of both as well as subtle, veiled horror.
UNCGSC: The Facility will take us to the most extremely remote facility on the planet, where experimentations into Artificial Intelligence, Turing Tests, and Sentience are carried out!
This novelette fleshes out the backstory of a character from Necropolis, although it may still be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
Set in a mysterious 'Dead Zone' of Antarctica, UNCGSC: The Facility couldn't be more isolated.
Like all vignettes of The Refuse Chronicles, this links itself into The Symbiot Series.
It is awakening. The question is, what is awakening?

Following the theme of hybrid-genres (Lovecraftian Horror (The Symbiot), Horror-Action (The Hunt: Symbiosys), and even Weird Fiction (Necropolis)), this novelette doesn't neatly fit into any genre, carrying elements of both Sci-Fi and Theology.
Currently the 1st novelette of the upcoming The Refuse Chronicles.

I love this series!
This novella can be a stand-alone read, but there is SO MUCH more excitement when read in conjunction with Necropolis! (Talk about easter eggs!)
There's so much I want to say, but I fear it will give too much away!
Anyone up for a discussion 'bout it?

A quick and interesting read. Not the type of story I normally read but it was very intriguing and made you want to keep reading. My first book by this author but I will definitely check out more.
