Stonefish
By Scott R. Jones
A missing tech mogul...
...a jaded reporter...
...a damaged AI returned from a horrifying reality...
...and something lurking in the woods.
When journalist Den Secord is tasked with locating enigmatic tech guru Gregor Makarios, he soon finds his understanding of reality under threat. At the edge of the world, surrounded by primeval forests, in the paradisaical environs of Gregor's hi-tech hermitage, Den learns of the true nature of our Universe.
This is the way the world ends.
Heart of Darkness meets The Magus meets bleeding-edge psychedelic gnosticism in Stonefish, the debut novel from Scott R. Jones (When Stars Are Right, Shout Kill Revel Repeat).
