The Deep meets Arrivalin space in the sci-fi horror novel entitled Extinction Dream. In a world languishing under the effects of climate collapse and a stagnant war between a coalition of Western Nations and Russia, Markus Cole believes he and his family will find relief from worry when he is deployed into orbit for what is supposed to be a well-paid research post only to discover he’s been assigned to the front lines of a secret war against an alien force that assaults telepathically. Six months into his tour, Markus and his squad have faced unspeakable psychological trauma as they’re forced to relive their worst nightmares in combat, and there is no mistake: the enemy is winning. As their reality becomes increasingly wrought from their deepest terrors, they believe they may finally have the chance to take the fight to their enemy – if they can survive long enough to attack and if the hell they’re living in doesn’t cause them to tear each other apart first.
When Elissa and Tabby's father comes home from work carrying a shotgun, the two young girls don't know what to think. Their parents demand that they pack whatever possessions they can carry, and then they shuffled the kids into a secret bunker underneath their house and lock them inside. Alone, the children witness signs that indicate some sort of catacylsmic event while they wait uncertainly for any sort of news of what has happened or for their parents to return.
An undetermined amount of time later, the children find their way to the surface, and they find the world outside horrifically changed - their neighborhood is abandoned and decayed, and it is populated by strange glowing beings the girls dub 'the shimmer people', feral animals, and pulsating pods that seem to cling to everything. Accompanyied only by each other and Elissa's stuffed ferret named Pom Pom that she believes might be alive, the children attempt to navigate their apocalypse.
From the minds of Patrick Reuman (A Place so Wicked) and Andrew Najberg (The Mobius Door, Gollitok) comes a new tale of devastation.
The end came quickly. Like a ticking time bomb, a mysterious new disease tore through the world like a plague. One day, all was well in paradise. The next, the world had been brought to its knees. But where did it come from? And why did nobody see it coming?
Jennifer and Mason do not know each other. Both are struggling with their own lives when the world comes to an abrupt end. But those struggles are what helps push them through it all – because strong people don’t give up and they aren’t fighting for themselves, but for the ones they love.
