The Rule of Lachesis - Book 1: Awakenings

A crack team of scientists is hired on the sly by a billionaire to examine a fragment of a nanostructure material—origin unknown—all the while being watched by the British government without their knowing. They discover valuable information about it, but in doing so—and in feeding it—they awaken something dreadful. Only after the death of their sponsor and the disappearance of their unique subject do they realize they are in far too deep and have only just learned to swim.

They find out all too soon that no one else knows what they've got their hands on, either, and that they may be the only ones who understand enough to stop it. Little do they realize, they've set into motion a chain of events that will awaken some of humanity's oldest nightmares and wildest dreams, and the outcome is as unpredictable and varied as the fabrications that manifest along the journey.

Book 1: Awakenings is the first book in The Rule of Lachesis novelette series.
