Danni is twelve years old and struggling to get over the loss of
her dog, Pirate, when a new teacher and an old school book reveal
to her the world of Greek mythology. Danni stumbles across an
illustration that looks familiar enough for her to leave the house
in the dead of night and seek out what she thinks could be the gate
to Hades, the Greek Underworld, and perhaps a way to bring her dog
back to the land of the living. What she didn’t expect was her
younger brother, Sammy, to tag along or that once in the Underworld
she’d need a guide… and two 21st century kids on a quest to
save their dead dog was the last thing Odysseus was expecting.
Adventuring in the Underworld since the fall of Troy he’s the
last of his kind - a true Hero - but with enemies leaping on them
at every turn and monsters and gods to overcome this may be his
toughest odyssey yet!
Pushing forward into a new frontier is always dangerous, but when
you're almost 1500 light years from home and something goes wrong
its all to easy for everything to spiral out of control unless
tough, often impossible, decisions are made. Connected via a a
series of Gates that allow navigation through an endless void of
vacuum, Space Station Benson sits in the Veil Nebula supporting a
series of mining asteroids that collect the ore needed for the next
outward expansion. A team nearing the end of their mission on one
of these asteroids has gone suddenly silent after triggering a
distress beacon. The station's commander deploys a rescue mission
lead by Jake Dixon - a man with a reputation as a hero or perhaps a
murderer after a previous rescue mission lost a ship, but saved the
station. What Jake finds on the asteroid will threaten not only his
team and the hundreds of lives on Benson but perhaps threaten Earth
itself. Edge of the seat story telling combined with incredible art
create a new vision of space exploration meets horror where each
turn of the page brings you closer to a maelstrom of madness and
destruction. Join us as Dixon and his team come up against Dr. Dole
Andersen a man with a secret so terrible that he threatens to pull
us all into Hell with him. Join rescue crews, scientists,
investigators, special forces soldiers, families and monsters,
sacrifice and chaos. Join us as we face inhuman terror and
incredible heroism. Join us in another far flung adventure set on
the edge of a universe under the watchful eye of The Horror Master,
John Carpenter, himself. Join us in the VORTEX. 256 pages of
heart-stopping horror plus bonus pages that gives you a glimpse
behind the curtain at how the series is created.
Humanity has moved on after the Benson Disaster. In the decades
following the loss of the space station along with almost its
entire crew a new kind of life has been forged out even further
into the Veil Nebula aboard a new type of habitat: The Barringer.
But a connection back to Jake Dixon, the man who sacrificed
everything to stop a nameless horror reaching Earth, now pulls back
those few survivors and an all-new crew to face fresh monsters and
familiar terror. From Earth to the cold vacuum of space light years
away, from the fragile artificial environment of space stations to
the frozen terror of a dead planet... brace yourself. Mankind
believes it has tamed the organism freed from the dark years ago.
Survivors believe they have seen the last of that horror and those
that died stopping it. What they don't know is that they're in John
Carpenter's universe and all bets are off. The tendrils are back!
The heroics are bigger! The monsters are nastier! And the ride is
far from over as the VORTEX reopens.
