[The Dossiers of Asset 108 04] • Cascading Error · Critical · A Lovecraftian Technothriller (The Dossiers of Asset 108 Book 4)

For some baleful things, death is but a doorway. Now, the depravities of a masked cult haunt the world again.

Six years ago, Michael Bishop, Gideon Du'Marque, and three other Assets were sent on Dossier to the deepest shadows of the Yucatan. There, they encountered masked savages who worshiped inhuman darkness. Among misbegotten temples and hidden labyrinths, they discovered rituals of blood, otherworldly creatures, and unspeakable agonies.

Five Assets entered the Yucatan- only two left alive.

Now, unbeknownst to Michael, the loathsome cabal has new machinations. What begins as a festering plague that savaged the Pacific Northwest ends in the cisterns of Istanbul. There, Gideon and Bishop discover incomprehensible, mathematical truths.

A dire Equation speaks prophecy. A dark age is on the horizon, one of blood and madness. It shall be an Aeon to be heralded by the sacrifice of countless innocent lives to plague and pestilence.

Could these schemings be connected to Sadhana, the shadowy organization that seeks to destroy the Facility? Does it involve the tentacled horrors of Dhire Lith? Or, worse, is this sinister threat something altogether new?

As Michael struggles with the intricate plots of a madman, another menace lurks. A crimson radiance- a celestial bane- dawns in the shadows of his mind. Soon, the furious light of this scarlet star begins to burn away at his sanity, at everything that makes him human.

It might already be too late. The Equation is almost complete. As Michael stands against masked cultists and otherworldly horrors, there is one truth he cannot deny.

The Wormwood Star has begun its ascent.

This story is the fourth in the science fiction series, The Dossiers of Asset 108, regarding the adventures and trials of Michael Bishop, a man who does not know his nature. It is a story of a shadowed world, a world where creatures of outer darkness are hunted by a faceless organization, the Facility.
