Now, for the first time since Site 113's appearance, Earth's leading corporate government (ICoRP) has found a way inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMalcolm \"Cole\" Bennett never wanted to be a commander and finds himself drowning when the maiden voyage into the illusive dome proves to be a grander endeavor than he can handle. Armed with an engineer, a meteorologist, a medicinal botanist, a tactical expert, and his sister, Cole must do everything he can to keep everyone from killing each other; all while dealing with the impossibles the strange land has to offer. A cannibalistic virus, theology-driven supergods, and a brewing war are just a few of the obstacles he must overcome to meet a future-driven society - all for a mission whose purpose is intentionally kept a secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo make matters worse, Cole obtains a lethal device called the Terminus: a watch bent on destroying anything in its way. This puts him at odds with his charming new employer, Juniper Volkov, whose only concern is protecting the well-being of her home colony Eden; even if that means dragging Cole and his team through Hell and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetermined to see his assignment through, Cole is forced to ask himself deeper questions about entropy, paradise, and self-sacrifice - as he not only tries to stop the destruction of this new world, but his own internal degradation as well. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph A.
