Unleashed

Welcome to Hyde Station, a mining platform floating in the backwaters of galactic trade routes, where business is “cracking stroids”.

Jacoby’s been down on his luck before. Hell, that’s pretty much his life moto. But things were good enough to land him a new contract. Unfortunately, things have dried up since, and mining for precious metals is a cut-throat industry. Desperate to make his quota, Jacoby makes a judgement call that might put more than just him at risk. Jacoby learns the hard way that some rocks are hiding more than just previous minerals. And when some things are let loose, there is no putting them back.

Mankind will never be the same.

Unleashed: A Science Fiction Horror Adventure is a work of fiction in the futuristic, thriller, and paranormal sub-genres, and was penned by author Aaron Bunce. Written as the opening work to the NecroVerse series, this high octane and highly appealing work focuses on a seedy backwater of the universe where something bad is just waiting to be awakened. The work is written for adult audiences and does contain the use of explicit language, some scenes of a sexual nature, graphic horror, violence, and horror. We find ourselves following the exploits of Jacoby, whose work on an asteroid mining platform turns into a fight for survival that threatens to engulf the whole of mankind.

Author Aaron Bunce has crafted an engaging work of dark science fiction that makes it feel as though you’re reading through an intense world where destruction is only a heartbeat away. I enjoyed the fact that the work is visual, with powerful descriptive moments that don’t hold back on giving you the scene in its every gruesome detail. This really enhances the horror elements of the story well and keeps you reading to soak up the next disaster to be uncovered. The character work gets better and better the more that we get to know our two central narrators, and what first appears as a classic group of science fiction characters develops into deeper people whom we can root for and relate to. Overall, I would recommend Unleashed to fans of horror and science fiction who like high octane action, fast-paced plots, and visual, visceral reading experiences.

Exodus

Surviving the outbreak was the first step. 

 The second step? Get the hell off Hyde Station. 

 But how?

The cold and dark are creeping in, but the vacuum of space isn't even the most immediate threat. Mutated and bastardized organisms are everywhere, hunting new hosts, while morphing and growing beyond any rate natural. But evolving into what?

The survivors desperately search for the means to call for help or escape. But that may be easier said than done. And as vital systems fail around them, Jacoby discovers that their biggest opponent isn't necessarily the disfigured monsters haunting their steps, but himself.
