STASIS: Part 1: Beta

by E.W. Osborne

The apocalypse has begun. Steele Industries changed the world when they tapped the untouched market of sleep technology. With a simple Seed implant, their Dreamscapes turned eight hours of wasted time sleeping into mini-vacations and virtual fantasies. Years later, billions of people depend on the Seed to survive their hectic, draining lives, their subconscious tethered to a corporation. A violent epidemic spreads in cities across America, emergency rooms flooded with catatonic patients, morgues receiving the people they kill before slipping into a bizarre unresponsive state. For the public, the morbid events caught on camera are more entertainment than warning. No one suspects the threat lurking just under their skin. For a few, the spreading violence is impossible to overlook. A group of people, each unknown to the other, race against time to uncover the source of the plague. A doctor, a reporter, a student, a prophet... all separately searching for the truth. They don't know it yet, but the future of humanity rests on their shoulders. ****** If you're the type who likes to watch the world burn, STASIS is the series for you. Pick up the action from the very start and follow a cast of characters struggling to survive during the chaos that is the end of the world as we know it.
