A Dark and Sure Descent Saul Tanpepper

It's the summer of 2030. The government is experimenting with a new digital network on Long Island. That's not all they're bringing. This is the true account of a biomedical disaster that changed the world in the most terrifying way imaginable... and it all started with a single bite. After the unexplained death of their newborn son, experimental biologists Lyssa and Ramon Stemple find themselves at the center of a brutal murder investigation involving an employee at their controversial animal research laboratory. The case takes a shocking twist when the slaying is linked to a mysterious and deadly new virus sweeping Long Island. At first believed to be a variant of rabies ravaging native animal species, the full extent of the epidemic soon becomes apparent. The Stemples are blamed for intentionally creating a virus which will destroy the Stream. As they attempt to flee the human scourge and their unjust persecution, their six-year-old daughter Cassie begins to show the first signs of infection. Desperate to save their only child, one parent will attempt a treatment so radical, so unthinkably horrific, that it will render the looming Apocalypse inconsequential. A Dark and Sure Descent is a standalone novel in, and prequel to, the world of GAMELAND, the epic cyberpunk series published in episode format from May through December 2012. The events in this current book take place twelve years before the series and set the stage for the island to become the abandoned wasteland it has become. Welcome to GAMELAND. Access Restricted.
