The Rising of R'lyeh
The world has changed since The Event.
It will never be the same.
Ancient and forgotten Cults stir in the darkness.
The UNCGSC desperately prepares for a war they know is inevitable.
Tamara Takahara – Tamara Gibbons – the last Symbiocyst returns; the consequences obliterating.
The Machine searches for humanity's only hope and salvation.
Titanic forces are in motion, their collision unavoidable.
The Event may have changed the world,
but the fallout has yet to come.
All will be gambled.
All will be lost.
Be prepared. There is no tomorrow.

A true homage to Lovecraft and the genre of Weird Fiction.
Witness the rise of a truly vicious and lethal villain the likes of which we've never seen in the entire Symbiot-Series.
It's modern-tech vs ancient forgotten evil. It's Lovecraft with teeth and bullets!
Murder. Mystery. Sci-fi. Ghost story. Subtle comedy. Traditional monster-story. Action. Historic. Spiritual. This anthology of assorted novelettes runs a complete gamut as they weave together to bring this series to its final and brutal conclusion!

Restraint has been abandoned.
Pain, loss, rage, bloodshed, murder and mayhem reign.
There is a subtle line between vengeance and justice, and in The Refuse Chronicles - for hero and villain alike - their definitions are lost.
The ultimate Lovecraftian-ode to cosmic-horror!
