Description

Two hundred and fifty oil workers vanish from the offshore Aeschylus drilling platform without a trace. Production stops. Communications cease. The Valley Oil Corporation finds itself on the brink of disaster and prepares to send an investigative team deep into the south Atlantic. The board hires Black Shadow, the world's most notorious mercenary conglomerate, to lead the charge.

Team leader Mason Bruhbaker expects a standard search and rescue mission. What he finds instead rattles his very sanity. The platform is covered with a massive, tentacle-like fungus, and the missing workers are nowhere to be found. His only clue: a nearby research base dating back to the Second World War. The base not only holds the key to the missing workers, but a terrifying secret which may very well threaten humanity itself.
