This is Futurum, Death’s Hollow, and where Jacks is going, there is no mercy.
Jacks is a corporate-owned mercenary with a skilled extraction squad. His goal to buy out his lifetime contract while they collect whatever industrial secret, agent, or turncoat executive AstEx Corp needs removing from under the noses of their main competitors.
That is until the mission of a lifetime falls into their lap, promising more money than they could possibly imagine.
The target? An organic object known as the heartseed, prized by an alien race, that grows on a hostile planet.
The remit? Four corporate squads all competing for the same target, and to the winners, exclusive access to alien technology.
The catch? Six months, one hundred and fourteen teams of lost souls, ninety-three dropships, and the highest echelon of military technology, yet no one has ever come back from Futurum alive.
Time is running out, and where they’re going, everything wants to kill, eat, or lay its eggs inside you. Possibly all three.
But Jacks’ greatest enemy just might be his own mind as the creeping malevolence of the planet worms its way in. As his reality fractures, he begins to question what the aliens really want, and whether this world will ever let it go.
This is a team deathmatch on a planet that rejects contact. For fans of Battle Royale and Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, where the planet is more dangerous than the competitors.
Genre: Science Fiction
