Ghouls
Clarke is a quiet¸ peaceful world¸ and Major Galdrian has resigned himself to a quiet¸ uneventful career in the planetary security force. That changes when an archaeological team digging in the planet's radioactive wastelands unleashes a bioweapon from the distant past¸ creatures that both slaughter the living and despoil the dead. Both acts are horrifying in a society built around the idea of preserving and ultimately resurrecting the deceased¸ and the psychopomps of the theocracy give the young infantry officer the task of hunting the monsters down. It's a mission that will take Galdrian from the desolation of the wastelands to a little girl's hospital room to the halls of power¸ and from obedience through suspicion to rebellion. Because there's more going on than meets the eye¸ and he can only track down the ghouls by uncovering the truth - then he just needs to survive. This story comes in Mobi¸ ePub and PDF formats.
