Tethered - 8212

Apocalypse. Earth has seen them come and go. Entire civilizations have borne witness, fallen, and risen from the ashes over and again. These events are burned into our genetic memory, and every major culture and religion predicts the next. But this time when it arrives, it is neither natural disaster nor divine judgement. It is the Transition - a hostile corporate takeover of the entire planet, orchestrated and executed by Tether, the most benevolent philanthropic organization in history. These are four extraordinarily different perspectives of the end of existence as we know it. First there is Lucius, a criminal sociopath who has discovered Tether’s plot - and will do anything to survive. Second comes Madeline’s tale. The subject of radical, genetic in-vitro experimentation, Maddie is all that her parents dreamed she would be. She is beautiful and brilliant, but she is also a nightmare - dangerous, cunning… and not entirely human. Third is the anonymous journal of a wayward survivor of the Transition, an accounting of the struggles of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world full of monsters; where ogres, trolls, dragons, and worse have supplanted man at the top of the food chain. Things, however, aren’t always what they seem - and appearances can be more deceiving than one might guess. Finally comes a chronicle of the Transition itself, as told by Arlon Hawking; professional hunter and scion of one of Tether’s most prominent families. It is a story of many things; hope, desperation, ambition, and the lengths to which people will go to accomplish an objective - but above all, it is a cautionary tale. You, intrepid reader, might come to view Tether’s crusade as wisdom… or condemn it as madness. Like so many things, it comes down to perspective, and so, in the end, it all depends on you.
