The Mantle Wakes: Artificial Fury: Descent into Sector Null Is Live

Artificial Fury by Patrick E Barber II

Beneath the soaring, pressurized towers of Spaceport Washington lies Sector Null—a forgotten industrial graveyard sealed away for over a century, cold, quiet, and buried under tons of reinforced shielding.

Until now.

My latest release, Artificial Fury: Descent into Sector Null, is officially available.

When a salvage contract into the hazardous orbital wreckage of Hephaestus Prime goes catastrophically wrong, Space Hunter Lukas Burton and heavy-rig pilot Joe Gill find themselves forced off the grid. Following a corrupted trail of black-market salvage, their hunt drops them straight down through the station's floor and into the forgotten substructure of Sector Null.

They aren't alone down there.

An ancient automated defense network has broken its quarantine, cycling back to life with a single directive: categorize all biological entities as contamination flaws and execute a total bio-purge. Pinned between rogue industrial combat platforms, ruthless Silver Snake Syndicate strike teams, and collapsing structural bulkheads, survival is no longer about fulfilling a bounty contract. It’s about fighting through an active meat grinder before the station buries them alive.
