Expedition Stories

Dr. Isla Vance is the best thing that ever happened to Halcyon Genetics. A brilliant xenobiologist with ice in her veins and fire in her fists, she has spent six years building a career, a reputation, and a life with the only man who could match her storm for storm. Dr. Kael Navarro. He was the agency's golden boy. A high-altitude scientist who laughed at death and loved Isla with the same ferocity he brought to every summit. Together, they were unstoppable. Until they weren't. Fourteen months ago, Kael led a small team into the Nepalese Himalayas. The objective: investigate anomalous thermal signatures deep in the Khumbu region. The cover story: a routine glacial study. The truth: something had been found. Something buried in the ice for centuries. Something that should not exist. Kael took two American scientists, three Sherpas, and a Pelican case full of equipment he refused to let anyone else touch. He never came back. An avalanche swallowed the Western Cwm. Kael pushed his team to safety and disappeared into the white. No body. No report. No evidence. The Pelican case - containing every scrap of proof, every photograph, every impossible data point - vanished with him. The agency closed the search. Declared Kael lost. Filed the insurance claim. Patted themselves on the back for limiting liability. His mother signed the death certificate through a fog of sedatives. The world moved on. Isla did not..... Authors Note: This is not a romance. Though love runs through every page like a frozen river. This is not a horror. Though the mountain has teeth. This is not an adventure. Though they will risk everything to reach the truth. This is a story about condolence. This story is a work of fiction. The Himalayan setting is real. The grief is real. The Yeti? That's between you and the ice. Dedication: For everyone who has ever climbed their own Everest just to say goodbye.

Above my head is a violet sky. Below my feet, dry dark earth. The helmet cannot be removed out here, and all around me lie fragments cordoned off by the force tape of excavation sites. This is Viur. A dying planet in the system of the same name. And my place of exile. The word "archaeologist" in the occupation field is a joke at the expense of everything I used to be. My work now is studying a vanished civilisation. Frustration, restrictions, excavations, I can't stand - and one saving grace: a paper diary, a notebook, a hello from the time when this planet still bloomed. I want to believe that somewhere between its lines lie answers. Answers the researchers are looking for, and answers I need myself. What happened to you, Viur? And what am I supposed to do next?

It was a bacteria, nothing more. Then, a single-celled organism with a blurry definition, that was accidentally discovered by scientist Felix Fox in the increasingly tepid fringes of the Arctic Circle. Fox claimed the 'bacteria' possessed consciousness, intelligence. The people began to call it Fox's Friend. We never stood a chance. Faster than humanity could predict or react, Fox's Friend overtook the natural world, infecting plants, mammals, and fish alike. We didn't know to be afraid, not until the deaths. Fox's Friend, deceptively named, raged through the human mind, chewing it up and hemorrhaging it from the inside out. We had no other choice.

It is a living, wheezing city - forever safe. This is the home of Anneke Yamamoto, and this is the story of her ultimate quest for freedom; for the right to be truly alive. Given a chance at an opportunity she cannot afford to ignore, Anneke embarks on a treacherous journey to reunite humanity with the mainland and the nature that cruelly rejected them.

In the age of steam and ambition, an English gentleman embarks on a most unorthodox voyage: one that defies logic, dares the elements, and challenges the very notion of time.
