WHAT LURKS BENEATH THE SHADOWY SEA?! A horrifying take on the epic battle between good and evil.
After receiving a distress call from another submarine off the coast of Syria, the crew of the U.S.S. Nebraska searches a series of massive caverns. There they discover a shipwrecked 70-year-old Soviet sub whose crew died under mysterious circumstances. While investigating the mystery of the sub's demise, the away team for the Nebraska discovers a massive underground sanctum dedicated to Môt, the ancient Ugarit god of death. As mysterious events start to occur onboard, the away team soon discovers that the sanctum was not constructed to worship Môt...it was built to imprison him. Now they must find a way to escape the death god's prison without freeing him to wreak destruction upon the world.

"SANCTUM is a brilliantly realized, wonderfully accomplished mainstream SF thriller of the kind you wouldn't normally expect to see outside of your local Multiplex cinema."

"Drawing upon some HP Lovecraftesque images and concepts this is a series that chills the reader and leaves him conscious of turning a page in anticipation of the next page. This work is complicated and is wonderfully moody." - Alexander Ness, www.slushfactory.com
